Solution Someone Somewhere Jan 22, 2014 1.65V memory voids your warranty on Intel chips, and could damage the memory controller long term. I'd avoid it. It would be interesting to see what would happen if you used 165V memory, though.

Most XMP profiles for i5 and i7 RAM is 1.65. See more details in here: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/gaming/gaming-computers/core-i5-processor-memory-datasheet.html Upvote 0 Downvote
