It works fine. Any CL9 1333/1600 ram would be perfect.

Its fine to go below but not over the voltage that the motherboard supports. Found a 1.25v ram in the memory qualified vendors list. The motherboard will detect your ram and it will be able to read the ram voltages and timings and adjust it accordingly if you haven't touched the memory settings since it should be set to auto by default.

It should support it. The ones listed are just the ram that they tested and are guaranteed to work. My ram is not in my motherboard's QVL list but it is supported on my motherboard. If you are afraid that it is incompatible, buy something like this: http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f3-12800cl9d-8gbsr#tabs-qvl (this ram is in the QVL in the G.Skil website)

If you already own this memory, I would put it in the system to see if it boots and use the bios/ cpu-z to check that the speeds and timings are set correctly.

If your store has some restocking fee if you opened it and want to return it, I would exchange it with some thing else to avoid paying the restocking fee if it doesn't work. If not, I would try it and see if it works. But I am pretty sure the ram that you got will work.

On the GSkill website the Asus B85 chipset isn't listed on the qualified vendor list, so I'm not sure if it would work, although the QV-lists are sometimes not really up to date

I mean.. it's normal DDR3-1600 RAM... Probably should?

im sorry, have an idea if it will work?..

i want to makesure that it will work properly

It would work since if the tested voltage (1.25v) does not work you could set it to 1.5v since it defaults (SPD voltage) at 1.5v. But your motherboard will probably detect it and run it at 1.25v.
