What does 

The Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory operating voltage of 1.65V exceeds the Intel Haswell Refresh CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.5V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum.

Basically Mean?

"this memory draws more power than Intel recommends, so it may run slower than designed in order to work properly with Haswell refresh CPUs"

It is just a warning saying that it may not run at advertised speeds. There really is no problem though. The ram should still work fine

It just uses more power than intel specifies as the "recommended" voltage, though I doubt it will run at a reduced clock speed or voltage.

Or:

"For it to reach 2400 MHz, it needs to run a greater voltage (1.65V) than Intel recommends (1.5V). However, if you keep the voltage down to the recommended 1.5V, it will probably not be able to run at 2400MHz, so you'd have to reduce clockspeed for it to work at that voltage."
