Compatibility Notes
Kingston Predator Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory operating voltage of 1.6V exceeds the Intel Haswell CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.5V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum.

Pcpartpicker gives me this message under warnings. What does it mean?

Intel runs their IMC at the JDEC spec which is 1.5v. There is a slight amount more you can go but if you run it higher then it will void the CPU warranty.

Honestly the DDR3 2133 probably wont net you any real world performance benefits so if you can fine 1866 at 1.5v go for that instead as the memory speed is already insanely fast at even stock memory speeds which Haswel supports up to DDR3-1600MHz 1.5v.
