What are safe voltage levels for DRAM?
What are your goals? I was trying to improve my memory beyond 1600Mhz. I increased the voltage to 1.55 to 1.58 and didn’t run into problems, except for occasional overheating, which is normal. Usually, 1.35 to 1.50 volts is safe for DDR3, but it depends on the specific RAM model.

I've encountered this situation occasionally across various computers. It might reduce their lifespan, especially with DDR4 and DDR3 configurations.
You're looking to improve your system's performance by overclocking. You mentioned using a cheap RAM in the past and adjusted the voltage to 1.55-1.58, which worked without major problems except for overheating. For typical use, 1.35-1.50 volts is safe, though it varies with the RAM model. I recall you were using Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2x4GB at 3000 MHz on an Asus B350-F, but your system only reached up to 2993 MHz. You noticed the DRAM light flashing and boot issues before, so you increased the voltage to 1.355V, which seems stable now.
