Will 1.65v damage the mem?
ie upgrading asus P7P55D-E Pro using(for 2yrs) i7 860 'Lynfield' 2800 O'Clkd to 3373.86 mhz (and Bus at 160.66mhz x 21 =3373.86)

Was using 2x2GB; 4GB total 1.65v specd Corsair XMS3 1600 9-9-9-24.(gen2 i7 and 1.5vRam not made then)


The new ram:= Two Pairs of Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A 1600 C9B a total of 16GB but 1.65v spec not there any more--these are
specd at 1.5v so as not to damage the new Intel processors----But my previous generation i7 860 is ok at 1.65v---But is the Ram ok?at 1.65v
It is not even warm.

A lot of people must have run into this.
NonOverlocked it stays at its SPD in BIOS of 1.5v ..and 2800mhz

Overclock and it changes to 1.65v

Thanks
