My build is as follows (the relevant parts):

Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Asus B150 PRO GAMING D3 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory

Now on PCPP the compatibility note reads that my RAM voltage (1.5V) exceeds the Intel Skylake recommended maximum of 1.35V. Now, I can't find any ram that actually runs at 1.35V, what can I do to remedy this problem?
 
Solution
You won't find DDR3 ram with 1.35V as it starts around 1.5. If you havent purchased the parts yet swap the board out with one that supports DDR4. 1.5V SHOULD work with that motherboard though.
