RAM Voltage exceeds CPUs recommended

Lower voltages will always be more reliable. The new DDR4 standard will have lower voltages and higher frequencies (win-win). As long as you get the recommended voltages you should be fine. If you get just a little higher, you should be fine too. It's just a recommendation.

Try to get the lowest voltage possible for a same frequency. If you can find 1600 MHz at 1.5 V, then it's fine.

Will it really make a difference? I got this build made from someone from the community and after checking a few things I just changed the Intel Xeon cpu for an i5k. Is it easier to just change the cpu or all the Intel Haswell CPUs recommend 1.575V?

Okay, I guess since it is my first try building a rig ill keep the 1.6V, I've read that the ram will perform a little bit lower, but since the difference in voltage is not that big the performance will be negligible. I will keep in mind though your recommendation for future changes in my PC. Thank you!
