Yes, good memory.

yes, man. but i see some people from other forum don't like the timings of this ram. oh well, i got this already and i'm happy about it.

Well, the timing is rather high for 1600MHz RAM. $5 more dollars (comparing 2x4GB Kit Prices) could have got you 2133MHz C11 RAM, or 1600MHZ C9 RAM from G.Skill.

but for you, man, is this a good memory or i could have bought a better memory?

If it's fast enough for you, for sure. G.Skill makes quality sticks, I'm sure it's some solid RAM. On the build I'll be ordering in about a month, however, RAM of that speed would create a noticeable bottleneck.

this stick runs on 1.35v. My mobo is ASUS P8Z77-V LX2 and procie is i3 3240. From what I heard, the recommended voltage is 1.5v, so will there be any problem if I install these sticks (8GB dual) in my mobo, will they get fried or something like that? thanks

No, your motherboard should throttle down the voltage automatically when the XMP profile is loaded, or even before that. If it doesn't for some odd reason, you can always set it to 1.35v manually in the BIOS.

so, I can set the voltage for RAM only to 1.35v? or will it affect the voltage for all the other components attached to the motherboard as well? thanks

Yes you can, and no, it wont effect anything but the RAM voltage.
