Is this memory compatible with my setup?

Go to solution Solved by WoodenMarker,

Intel employees have confirmed that 1.65v ram will work just fine.

The voltage thing is just so people don't do crazy overvolts when oc'ing ram. 

 

You're fine, it works.

Here's the RAM ($139.50 with promo code)

 

My rig (The important parts):

 

CPU: i5-4670k

Motherboard: AsRock z87 Pro4

PSU: EVGA SuperNova G2 750w

 

The main reason why I ask is because PCpartpicker came up with this:

 

"A-Data XPG V2 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory operating voltage of 1.65V exceeds the Intel Haswell CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V)."

 

Seems a little odd to me, if the 4670k was incompatible with any RAM, then what's fully compatible with it?

 

Anyway, I also looked in at the "QVL" list because I tried to look it up earlier and someone mentioned it, and it looks like my motherboard is compatible with that RAM.

 

Will I have anything to worry about?

The RAM will work but 2400 Mhz is just useless.

Thanks for your inputs guys, that's all I wanted to know. :)
