Hi there. I have just recently installed new ram to my PC, exactly two of these:

My PC did some weird beeps at first, then it booted. I went into the BIOS, I saw no place to set the memory speed to 1600(because previously I was running 1333), and also the voltage was set to 1.65 - should I change it to 1.5? Because that's what is advised on the ram.
Now when I check CPU-Z, my PC detects my RAM just fine I think. It shows 16gb of ram, Dram frequency 800(so thats correct for 1600mhz Im assuming), timings 9-9-9-24-39-1T.
So my question is, is there anything that I need to do? From reading the manual on the website this ram should be running at voltage 1.5 but my bios is forcing 1.65, is that an issue or should I just leave it? Also about the timings, I know 9-9-9-24 is right, but what should the tRc and CR be? Right now its just on 39-1T.

This is my motherboard in case it matters:

Update, I changed the voltage to 1.5 and it works fine too but it only shows voltage of 1.488 in hwmonitor - is that normal?
