What would you guys say is a good voltage for DRAM, I was at 1.35V but I noticed instability so I've upped it to 1.355V, just wanted to make sure this was all good! thanks! :)

What are you trying to accomplish? OC RAM? I mean, I used to have some cheap RAM back then, but wanted to OC my memory beyond 1600Mhz. I had to bump up the voltage to 1.55 - 1.58 and never ran into issues, other than overheating, which is expected.

Typically, 1.35 -1.50 volts is safe to use (is this DDR3 right?), but it all depends on the RAM you are using.

ah woops, forgot to put the ram: Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2x4GB @ 3000 MHz (on Asus b350-f)
i have a Ryzen system so it only reaches 2993 MHz, but I noticed that my Asus board was flashing the DRAM light and boot looping before so I increased the voltage to 1.355V and it seems to be stable for now.
