1.6V RAM running at 1.5V?

[SmooshyXz]

Is it okay if my 1.6v 2133 MHz RAM runs at 1600MHz and 1.5v? Since my Motherboard doesn't support anything past 1.5v. Is this bad for the Memory/MOBO?

will be fine. under volting memory is no issue the same as under volting a cpu.
Long as it runs stable no problem.

There's no chance of frying my CPU/MOBO or anything? Thanks alot!

To get the best performance at 1.5 1600 will want to tighten your timings some, tighten the first three timings by 2 each and the forth base timing by 1 - i.e. if your sticks are 10-10-10-30 at 2133 tighten to 8-8-8-29 at 1600 😉

So I would go into BIOS and chance the Voltage and timings in there?

Yes, could also look for DOCP, EOCP or XMP if your BIOS has one of those, select it and choose 1600 and it will set the sticks up for you
