Will this RAM work well with Haswell?

I am planning on upgrading to an i7 4770k and an Asus Maximus VI Hero, and thought I may as well upgrade my RAM since I am currently using 1333 mhz RAM. I found this RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231638. Is that good for the price? I saw on PC Part Picker it said there may be an incompatibility with Haswell and high voltage memory. Will this actually be a problem? Feel to recommend different RAM, I don't know much about Cas Latency and timings, so I am not sure if the one I picked is that great.

Those are great sticks and you'll be happy with them, I'm running the 32GB 2666 Tridents on my Haswell and have the 32GB 2400 set of Tridents in my IB, the Tri's run great and every set I've used has had OC headroom, good strong sticks ;)

That's ridiculous, and that DRAM is perfectly fine, I haven't seen a single Intel Die since long before SB, and even those I've seen die were from extreme OCing (and basically that being done by idiots). The 1.5 'suggested' by Intel is for 1600 DRAM which they also suggest as the max freq to use - I have well over 130 buildsdating back to SB and most all have been on 2133 and up and 1.6-1.65.

1.65 V is FINE for haswell, in fact if you check the i7 4770k ram compatibly list on intels website, most of the memorys listed are 1.65DIMMS

Thanks, I don't think I'll worry about my CPU dying from the RAM voltage since I can barely find any cases of that happening. I also remember seeing something about there being issues with OCing haswell and OCing the RAM, but since your cpu is overclocked I am guessing I shouldn't have any problems?
