Memory Voltage Concerns

Looking to make my first build for gaming everything from Minecraft to Far Cry 3.  I'm planning on an Asus Z97-Pro mobo, an i-5 4670K (moderately overclocked), Corsair's AX 760 psu and an Asus GTX 770 gpu.  My concern comes with the memory.  I want to use Corsair's Vengeance Pro 2400 (2x8GB) but PCPartPicker tells me that there's a compatibility issue with the memory voltage (1.65V) and the CPU.  Asus' website states that memory @ 1.65V and lower is recommened for the mobo and lists Corsair's Vengeanance Pro as compatible in the QVL.  If I enable the XMP profile and overclock the cpu, will the memory voltage really be a problem?  Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
