Can High speed RAM damage other components.

I got fast memories rated at CL16 3600Mhz 1.35volts.

Now I want to know why people say safe voltage is 1.2v, does it mean 1.35 will damage components or reduce life span? is it considered over voltage? Or is it just about thermal concerns? if I keep components cool no damage to anything?

Also I think its not only memories that need 1.35 volts but also VCCIO and VCCSA (maybe other voltages) needs to be increased.

I need expert advice I want to make sure that running my rams at their advertised speed does not damage any of my components. let say I want to work at 24/7,,, safe to use for 5 years?

I will not overclock the CPU even a little and its cooled with Corsair H100i v2. The motherboard also supports 4000Mhz XMP 2.0 profile

Extra note: since I wasn't experienced I purchased high speed rams and paid 400$ while I could get normal speed ram for only 200$...now I want to use that 200$ if possible and NOT ruin 4000$.

Thanks in Advance.

That voltage has to go though the memory controller (I believe) so if the voltage is too high, you risk damaging your CPU's integrated memory controller.

Skylake officially supports 1.35v RAM, I'm pretty sure, so that should be fine.
