I would like to ask, i have a skylake cpu but my ram is ddr3 1.5v, i'm afraid there will be a prob with my setup so i want to lower my ram voltage but i dont know how to do it, so i choose to lower the frequency from 1333 to 1066, will it also lower the voltage usage of the ram eventhough it still written 1.5v in the bios?
Thanks n sorry if my english suck..

Go into BIOS, under your memory settings tab in BIOS, look for memory or DIMM voltage and set it to 1.35v. Depending on your rams you can get by with 1333MHz at 1.35v with relaxed latencies but you will see reduced performance. Is it possible to pass on your full system's specs?

Dropping your frequency doesn't drop the voltage of your rams.
