Will 1.65 V DDR3 RAM work with AMD Llano FM1 motherboards?

[vishnumrao]

I have ordered a AMD Llano A8-3850 and a Asrock A75M-ITX motherboard.

RAM: I ordered this RAM: Kingston Technology HyperX 8 GB (2x4 GB Modules) 1600 MHz DDR3 Dual Channel Kit (PC3 12800) 240-Pin SDRAM KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX

Now I am having second thoughts, as I read some people say AMD Llano requires 1.5 V ram. Can anybody throw some light on this?

Well the QVL list is filled with plenty of 1.65v kits -> http://www.asrock.com/mb/memory.asp?Model=A75M-ITX so if you you got a good deal then don't worry.

To help, Tom's review - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-a8-3850-llano,2975-6.html used KHX2133C9AD3T1K2/4GX which are DDR3-2133 and 1.65v.

Thanks jaquith. Stupid me! I looked around on the web, not on the mobo makers website.

Infact the very same memory I bought is listed on that list:

DDR3 1600 4GB Kingston KHX1600C9D3K2/8G DS v 2pcs

Thanks for your reply. Choosing your answer as the best answer!
