Motherboard : ga-ax370 gaming k5
Cpu: Ryzen 1700x
Ram :F4-3200C16D-16GTZB (running at 2666)

I have a question guys. When I use 1.35 volt for my ram in bios settings, both bios and monitoring software read that voltage as 1.38v. Any idea which voltage is being applied to my ram?
My issue is that I am trying to overclock my cpu via offset voltage and with +0.012 volt I am stable at 3.75 hertz and the load get up to 1.38v . I am trying to stay below 1.4 volt so does anyone have a clue which volt is being applied to my cpu? Is it 1.38 or 1.35?
 
Solution
Run a load test with cpu-z on-screen & you'll find out.

As said ram voltage should have nothing to do with cpu voltage , just because the board is overvolting the ram for some reason does not mean it'll do the same with the cpu voltage.

I can borrow a volt meter as you say but I don't know how to use it on a motherboard. Can you provide a link to a guide?
 

RAM and CPU (core) voltages are not same.

 
Just use the cpu voltage reading shown in cpu-z WHILE running a 100% stress test.

That will be your 'true' load voltage.

You didn't get my point.

I mean that since I set 1.35v to my ram and bios reads it as 1.38v could that be the case with vcore voltage?
