OCZ Gold @ 1.65V too high?

[Ghaz]

Quick question, I just bought an i7. I know RAM voltages aren't suppose to run about 1.65v (although intel said the very max is 1.875v). On my motherboard is said it recommends ram voltages below 1.65. I have same of this. Just being paranoid, but will this be safe to use? I could slacken the timings and lower the frequency to lower the voltage if needed, but I am guessing 1.65V is okay really?

Thanks,

Ghaz.

I have my OCZ Gold 6Gb kit running at 1.64v (the Asus P6T does 1.64 or 1.66), and have managed to tighten the latencies too. Runs sweet as

That is the mobo I bought . Okay so I will just check in the bios that it is set to 1.64v.

Thankies!

you only really need to set the voltage if the ram wont post or if your overclocking the **it out of it really

I had to set the RAM voltage because it was defaulting to 1.5v and the rated voltage is 1.65v. I got a couple of BSOD's when it was running at the mobo's default.

1.65v will be fine, just don't push it too much further!
