So, I am looking at putting together a new PC, the CPU I have picked out; Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor. Recommends a voltage of 1.5V(+5%). The RAM I have picked out; Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory. Has an Operating voltage of 1.65V.

What problems would I run into with these two together, and is their any way around it so I don't have to reduce the efficiency of the Memory?

The 1.5 recommendation is based on stock CPU with stock 1600 sticks as far as voltage - however, with a stock 4770 (non-K model), chances are good the CPU won't be able to carry 2400 sticks, it often takes a slight OC of the CPU. With a stock 4770 can prob carry 2133.

Thanks for the response, so it's just a matter of Ocing the CPU a little to make it accept 2400?
