I recently purchased a DDR4 Corsair Vengeance 3000 MHz 2x8GB RAM, but they are only working at 2133 MHz. I activated the XMP profile and it automatically set the voltage to 1350V, yet the PC won't boot. I've tried various voltages up to 1.4V without success. Even when overclocking the CPU didn't help. It's only reaching a maximum of 2933 MHz, but the system still won't boot and displays an OC failed message on startup. After enabling the XMP profile and adjusting the RAM voltage from automatic to 1350V, it worked properly for three days. Restarting the PC is fine, but I'm concerned about setting the voltage too high for long-term use or daily operation. I want to avoid losing my RAM after a few months. Thanks.

If your system is stable (no crashes or anything like that) and if your case has proper cooling (the case fana should never be blocked) then you shouldn't worry.
