I employ Crucial Ballistix 2666MHz CL 16 DRAM (8GB x 2) at OC to 3000MHz CL 15. I adjusted the DRAM voltage to 1.35V in BIOS (Gigabyte B550m DS3H), but HWInfo indicates it's 1.38V. Which setting is actually active and what are the recommended safe voltages for these modules?

if hwinfo displays 1.38v, it indicates the system is operating at 1.38v. You can also verify that when navigating to the bios sensors page, for gigabyte it appears in advanced mode. On the settings page, PC Health and RAM voltage should be visible as DRAM Voltage. hwinfo reports what the bios supplies, and a deviation of +-60mv falls within the acceptable range.

Verified advanced bios configuration. The display indicates 1.38v, while your intended setting is 1.35v. You mentioned adjusting the voltage after configuring the drama settings.

What is the appropriate voltage for micron d die during normal operation at a temperature of 45°C? Your PC has high airflow fans blowing on the RAM.
