You're looking to boost your RAM voltage safely while keeping the TCL speed stable. It's generally safe if you follow proper procedures, but make sure your motherboard and RAM are rated for higher voltages. Since your RAM is already overclocked from 1.5V to 1.550V, proceed with caution and monitor temperatures closely.

Avoid exceeding 1.7V. Certain memory chips stop working above a specific threshold, often around 1.6V, meaning going higher doesn’t necessarily help.

It can struggle easily, especially with high power usage which may cause damage. There are many components that can be overclocked, but avoid pushing them too far. Different parts handle stress differently, so follow the advice given. If you don’t see a post, be prepared to reset it back to normal if it goes too high.

Certain sticks also dislike increased voltage, which could make them more prone to instability at higher levels, while others avoid extreme heat.

Certain sticks respond to voltage. Ram behaves similarly to a box of chocolates—depends on the chip and manufacturer. Keep increasing the voltage until it reaches a stable level, possibly around 1.75v.

Also keep in mind, during stress tests of RAM, the GPU isn't part of the process, creating extra heat. This is similar to what happens in a game when you increase RAM and voltage, which can raise temperatures in your RAM modules—those were okay during OC testing but might not perform well in actual games. Be aware that adding more RAM and higher voltage/heat can impact performance.
