Discrepancy detected—this could harm Skylake IMC. Run Memtest 86 on every stick. If no issues, it might point to a board or CPU problem IMC isn't managing... OwO
Raising the RAM voltage might harm the IMC. Be aware, I wasn't instructed to boost the IMC voltage.
Sure, you could try adjusting the clock speeds a bit and see if it helps. Changing a few timings like 15-16-16-36 might work, but be cautious—make sure you understand what each setting does before applying it.
Intel issued alerts about Skylake launching with DDR3L compatible boards, noting that all new series—even the 10th generation—are based on Skylake. DDR4 offers better power efficiency, and while setting the motherboard to 1.4v or 1.5v isn't inherently safe, it's important to understand the specifications. Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR4_SDRAM The default for DDR4 is supposed to be 1.2v, with 1.35v reserved for DDR3L, which Intel considered safe.
@Jurrunio has some insights on overclocking, possibly confirming what you're asking about. You mentioned concerns about memory voltage and damage to controllers—seems like a common debate. Every guide I've read suggests it's safe, but you're looking for evidence of IMC wear.

Intel has confirmed support for DDR4 at 1.5 volts on certain models. Evidence can be found on their official site: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/...9700k.html The document specifies a maximum of 1.35V and notes that some variants reach up to 1.2V, while overclocking beyond this risks damaging the integrated circuit. Intel has cautioned against using voltages higher than recommended, especially since long-term stability at 1.4V remains uncertain. It's advisable for users not to exceed the stated limits unless thoroughly tested.
