Just overclocked my 16Gb kit (2x8), it was 5600 cl46 and was able to tune it to these timings in the screenshot, does overclocking my memory that much will cause it to burn its lifespam faster? it would suck to have to buy new memory right now with these insane prices if one of my sticks dies early because of the OC

lower VSOC to 1.15V
Even 1.1V, I run 2167mhz fclk at 1.1V
agreed, but 1.15V should be stable for pretty much everyone running 2 sticks at 6000MHz
With 4 sticks on Auto, my motherboard reads 1.28V at 6000 MHz. Not sure if it can be lowered.
4 sticks puts a lot more strain on the AM5 memory controller, this is expected.
Just did this and the system is still running fine during the stress test, what lowering this voltage actually does tho?
It lowers the supplied voltage to the CPU SoC, which contains the memory controller. This won't have much of an effect on your RAM temps but will affect your CPU power and temps.
When AM5 chips were burning up shortly after launch, the SoC was being fried. Since then, every mobo manufacturer imposed a 1.3v (possibly 1.35v for some models?) limit to prevent the damage. In reality, 1.3v is still excessive for the vast majority of builds.
You just don't need 1.3V for your current settings, lowering it means less heat in your CPU which will likely improve boost behavior slightly. 1.3V generally won't hurt anything, there's just no reason to run it that high if you don't need to.
No you are fine. The only thing that would kill your ram early is too high voltage. You are using stock (or not much more, completely safe voltage), so nothing to worry about. All you did with the oc is you bumped the power consumption of each stick from like 3w to 4w or something, thats it.
Hynix A-die and M-die(24gb ones) are built like a tank it can handle higher voltage as long as you have temp under control.
Voltage and heat will kill it faster. Neither of those will be a problem for you.
It looks like maybe you followed a tutorial where someone was going for 6200 or 6400 in 1:1.
For the speed and timings you have here, you can back the voltages way down and the RAM will run a lot cooler. 5600 is JEDEC spec, so keep in mind the stock voltage for your kit will be 1.1V and you're at 1.4.
I would be willing to bet you could have the same results you do right now at 1.3 or 1.35 VDD/VDDQ.
Set VSOC to 1.15 and make sure you're stable after an hour of memory testing. After that, set VDD,VDDQ, and VDDIO to 1.3V and run the same test for an hour. Finally do it again after you drop VSOC to 1.1V.
Once you get tht voltages dialed down, you might be able to shoot for C30 or go up to 6200 if you have the right kind of memory ICs. HWINFO or CPU Z will provide the SPD data to allow us to advise you.
Edit: you also don't need gear down mode at 6000. That can increase your latency and you don't need it unless you want to go for something a lot faster.
I believe the chips are the same more or less ... Just a different firmware
But those chips didnt qualify, so as long it's properly cooled, it should live long enough ... As long as it stays within safe voltage (I mean if you take another kit with similar ram die, and apply the same amount of voltage)
