RAM/CPU Voltage Question

[OprahFTWinfree]

Recently while tinkering with my build via pcpartpicker I came across this compatibility note

The G.Skill Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2133 Memory operating voltage of 1.6V 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.

Will this cause any significant problems or just dial back the speed of the RAM to compensate? Should I lower the RAM speed?

I could cause issue with the Memory Controler is Haswell CPUs but it is possible that a.) you can lower the voltage and it will still run at full speed or b.) you might need to reduce the speed and voltage and run it at 1866, or C.) run it at full speed and voltage but risk issues with you CPU down the line

No, it's perfectly safe, that's just part picker referencing the 'suggested' standard' which is 1600, 1.5 DRAM for Haswell. Intel even has lists of DRAM that are certified at1.6-1.65 and up to around 3000
