Motherboards and Voltage

[danny2360]

Hello! I'm in the process of upgrading my old PC by getting a new CPU and motherboard. I recently purchased a CPU on ebay and it's a Intel Core i5-4570 Haswell 3.2GHz LGA 1150. I was quite happy because I got it for a good price. After all the celebration, I decided to put my CPU into PcPartPicker.com to see if it was okay and I got this error...

"The Kingston - 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory operating voltage of 1.65V exceeds the Intel Haswell CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.5V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum."

I'm not really knowledgeable in computers so I'm kind of freaking out over this. Will I be okay? My HyperX Fury Blue is 1.5V so that will be okay.

Also, I'm looking for a motherboard with a LGA 1150 socket. What's the best motherboard I can get for around 100$?

Thanks is advanced!

You should be fine. The problem is more that 1.65V RAM is indicative of poorer quality RAM, as effectively the manufacturer hasn't been able to achieve the appropriate latency and speeds, WITHOUT increasing power.

So it should be fine, the PC will likely just run it at 1.5v unless you enable XMP and overclock to reach 1.65v.
