I have questions about upgrading my laptop. It's an MSI GL65 with an I7-9750h, 16GB DDR4 2666 CL19 RAM, GTX 1660 Ti 6G GDDR6, and 512GB NVMe M.2 storage. Everyone I talk to says the RAM can't go above 2666MHz because of the processor. However, some Reddit posts suggest using a 3200MHz with an Intel XMP profile to reach the rated speed. I want to confirm if my laptop can support that and actually hit it. Most RAM in this range uses 1.2V, but I'm unsure if my CPU can handle higher voltage or if I should stick to 1.2V. Thanks for your advice!

1.35V works well with DDR4, it's a widely accepted XMP setting.

Absolutely correct, I've observed similar situations. It's important to note that exceeding the voltage limits set by the CPU or APU can harm the chip over time. If you don't mind, checking for XMP 2.0 support in your laptop could help resolve this issue.
