Hi,

I'm interested in the compatibility of the following two components:
+ RAM: 2x4GB Kingston Predator DDR3 1866Mhz @1.65V
+ MB : AsRock Z77 Extreme4

Also, the processor I want to buy is Intel 3570K. So, can you tell me if there will be problems ? I heard something like the voltage of 1.65V isn't recommended.

Thank you!

The Core i5-3570K is only officially compatible with up to 1.5V (+/- 5%). With 1.65V you're technically overvolting the memory controller. That doesn't necessarily mean it will cause damage (it probably won't), but in case it does, there's no warranty coverage.
