Hello, 

Was just wondering is 1.65V on the ram much for Haswell? I remember hearing something about ram voltage sometime ago but i cant really remember. 

Memory that ive in mind is the Kingston HyperX Beast 2133MHz 2x8GB running at 1.6V

 

Hey there. You are looking mighty fine today, have my virtual cookie!  :ph34r:

If you really want fast RAM running at 1.65V it should work with Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge just fine. Intel recommends 1.5V with some margin upwards. However from what I see 1.65V runs fine. The argument of not running 1.65V RAM is that the performance gained isn't applicable to real world applications.

Current build: Antec P180, Asus P8Z68 Pro, Intel i5-2500k, Asus GTX 570 2GB, Patriot 16GB 1600MHz, Corsair HX 650W.
