Why in the F#$% is your memory at 1.9v? You need to reset your entire bios configuration back to the stock settings, now, and start over again. That is WAY beyond the death voltage for your memory controller. I wouldn't be surprised if you had damaged the motherboard or CPU with that kind of voltage.
Do this, and then reconfigure your bios settings for fan or boot order if necessary, and see what happens.
Power off the unit, switch the PSU off and unplug the PSU cord from either the wall or the power supply.
Remove the motherboard CMOS battery for five minutes. During that five minutes, press the power button for 30 seconds. After the five minutes is up, reinstall the CMOS battery making sure to insert it with the correct side up...
Also no one else is planning to proceed with just a basic background and the rest of your hardware details such as CPU model numbers, motherboard specs, exact power supply model, memory quantity and kit model, case type, and cooling setup for both the CPU and case. It might be a thermal problem causing throttling, a driver issue, or the card not utilizing boost due to CPU performance limitations. There are many possibilities, but it's hard to pinpoint without more information.

Not sure, no one else will agree either. It would help if you provided more details about your hardware, like CPU model, motherboard, power supply model, memory type and quantity, kit model, case style, and cooling setup for both the CPU and case.
It might be a thermal problem, causing throttling, or a driver issue. The card could also struggle to use boost if the CPU can't keep up. There are many possibilities, but we need more info to figure it out.
Windows version? Nvidia driver version?
I would add another 140mm fan at the top of the case for exhaust purposes. The current setup with three 120mm intakes and just one 140mm rear exhaust isn’t providing sufficient airflow, resulting in high positive pressure and low actual flow—conditions you’d see with neutral or negative pressure. A top 140mm fan would balance things out and probably lower internal temperatures. Even if thermal management isn’t the main concern, it would still be a wise move.
Additionally, 1803 has several driver compatibility problems across different hardware types. I suggest performing a clean Windows 10 installation of version 1809.

Once you have the media (USB or optical), follow the instructions below to perform a clean install:

After that, proceed with a fresh install of the latest Nvidia drivers.
Darkbreeze would add another 140mm fan at the top of the case for better exhaust. The current setup with three 120mm intakes and one 140mm rear fan creates too much positive pressure and insufficient airflow, which is better balanced with neutral or negative pressure. A top exhaust fan would improve airflow and likely reduce internal temperatures. Even if thermal issues aren't the main concern, it would still be a good improvement.
Additionally, 1803 has several driver problems across different hardware types. I suggest a clean Windows 10 build version 1809 installation. You can find the media at the provided link. Once created, you can follow the clean install guide for Windows 10 and update the latest Nvidia drivers.
I also noticed the Boost Clock only activates above 40% load. Having it always on would be beneficial.
The memory voltage is currently at 1.9v. You must reset your entire BIOS configuration to the original settings and begin anew. This is significantly higher than the safe operating voltage for your memory controller, which could potentially damage the motherboard or CPU. Be cautious—this level of voltage might have caused permanent harm. After resetting, you should reconfigure your BIOS for fan or boot order as needed and test the system.
