1.5V is the recommended and default setting for DDR3 memory voltage. Other memory voltage settings in BIOS setup are provided for performance tuning purposes only. Changing the memory voltage can:
  • Reduce system stability and the useful life of the system, memory, and processor
  • Cause the processor and other system components to fail
  • Cause reductions in system performance
  • Cause heat or other damage
  • Affect system data integrity
