that 1.35v only matters if your'e buying DDR3  ram. Regular DDR3 ram uses 1.5v and DDR3L ram uses 1.35v. regular DDR3 will work, but it's pushing a component past a limit

Hello,

I am ordering ram for the i7-6700k... and I noticed that on the intel specs page it says the voltage needs to be 1.35 volts:

http://ark.intel.com/products/88195/Intel-Core-i7-6700K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_20-GHz

however the ram I want to use is 1.2 volts see here:

Will this ram work? is the 1.35v a max voltage for the i7-6700k?

 

Thanks,

 

Trevor

I've only seen 1.2 volt RAM, so I would tend to agree with A Person With a Broken Chair. (I've always wanted to say that)

Core i7 5820k 4.0Ghz (all 6 cores, Noctua NH-D15) | Asus X99-Deluxe | ZOTAC GeForce 980 Ti (water cooled) @ 1400 core/stock VRAM | Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR4 | 1.5TB SSD | Corsair 400Q | eVGA Supernova G2 850 watt | Dell UltraSharp U2515H, 25.5" 1440p IPS
