Hello!

Are these components compatible? The CPU says the maximum it takes is DDR3-1600, while the motherboard takes up to DDR3-2600, and the Hashwell specification recommends 1.5v RAM and no more, while the sticks run at 1.6v

Link to the Spanish shop where I'm going to buy the components (Why a Spanish shop? Well, because I'm a Spaniard :p):
CPU: Intel i5-4670K
Motherboard: Asus Maximus VI Hero C2.
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 2133 PC3-17000 8GB 2x4GB CL9

Thanks!

Hi,

The Intel Haswell microprocessors are designed to use DDR3-1600 @ 1.5 volts when stability and data integrity are of paramount concern. However, it can handle higher speeds and run at higher voltages when speed is desired over stability. However, stability is not guaranteed and the user may need to perform additional adjustments.
