I currently bought the following:

2X4 - Kingston HyperX Black 8GB DDR3-1600MHz
http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX43269

My Current Build
- I5 3570 (non-k)
- ASUS P8Z77-V LK Motherboard
- Corsair 600W PSU
- etc.

Now I have been reading quite a few things about voltages, people saying 1.65V is bad for the Ivy Bridge and should be avoided (I did not know this) so I'll be returning these 2 sticks. I want to be able to use my new build for a long time.. As replacement what one should I get?

Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 (Blue - Low Profile? - 1.5V)

Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600MHz (Black - 1.5V)
http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX31392

or any other ones you guys can refer me to would be great.

PS. what about the 1.35V "low profile" RAMs, are they a good fit with the IVY Bridge? or just get a stock 1.5V..

Thanks.
