I had to expand my RAM recently and decided to buy sticks with the same brand and specs (Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz 9-9-9-24). Being a RAM noob I didn't realize I bought DDR3L when I should've bought normal DDR3. My PC (Sandy Bridge CPU) tried to run 1600MHz @ 1.35V which didn't boot, so I set it at 1333MHz @ 1.5V. I ran Memtest for a few hours and stress tested it w/ my usual apps in Windows and it's working fine so far this week, but I read somewhere online that Corsair 1.35V sticks can fail after a few months running @ 1.5V. Should this stay stable?
P.S FWIW my CPU is running around 10C hotter than usual with the new conf
