So I'm building my first gaming PC, and this is my desired build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/rmqXGX

But when I recently changed to 16gb ram, I get this compatibility check message: The G.Skill Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory operating voltage of 1.65V exceeds the Intel Haswell Refresh 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.

What does this error message mean? Would it still be safe to run this ram or should I switch to something different?
 
Solution
Your fine, Partpicker looks at Intels recommendations of 1600 and 1.5 for DRAM for the Haswell CPUs. 1.65 is perfectly safe and basically required for DRAM 2133 and up, and Intel certifies both 1.65 as well as DRAM up through 3000+ (I run 32GB of 2800 sticks on my one Haswell and 32 of 2666 on the other)
