I just upgraded my RAM and didn’t realize you needed to change the MHz setting to reach 2933, but I set the voltage to auto. However, when I try to apply the suggested 1.35 setting, the text turns red. Is it safe to keep it on auto? My default was 1.200V, but it’s now auto.
Specs: Ryzen 2600x, 5700xt thicc iii ultra, Corsair 750 W PSU, ASROCK 320M-DGS motherboard, 32GB RAM Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro.

It could work possibly, but additional details are required. Update your post with complete hardware specifications and operating system information. Consider PSU: make, model, wattage, age, and condition. Not a straightforward yes; if using 1.35 volts causes red coloration, treat it as a caution not to proceed. This action is subject to your own risk. Consult the motherboard and RAM manuals to find supported OC and voltage settings.
