Question about compatibility, Would Corsair Vengence Ram rated at 1.5v work in the same motherboard as Corsair XMS3 ram rated at 1.65v. Both are rated at the same latency and at 1600, Thanks

Ok got my new ram. Noticed my mothboard says it supports 1.5v ram. Will using a combo of 1.65v and 1.5v ram hurt anything? Its on a p67 mb.

Cool, now I just got my Noctua NH-D14 in the mail cant wait to try it out. Love all the help here btw learning a ton. So happy different voltages can be used on ram in on the p67. Currently 2 sticks at 1.5 and 2 at 1.65. All running at 1600.

if it say 1.66V in the BIOS then yes it is running close to that. I check all voltages with a digital voltage meter, but the BIOS is usually pretty close
