hy guyz.... coming to the question quickly

I've just bought a Corsair XMS3 2x2=4gb @ 2000mhz ram which have 1.65v and timing is 9-9-9-24 i assume.
My rig is
i3 2120
Asus P8H61-M LE R2.0 mobo

my question is, is this ram compatible with my processor and mobo, coz i've heard that 1.65v ram is not good, is it really that bad..?
and also what will be the effects of this ram if i put it into my system, (i havnt installed it yet)

You're supposed to ask those questions before you buy ram

Check your mobo website to see if its approved ram there.
Check your ram website to see if its approved for that mobo

http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8H61M_LE_R20/specifications/ says "Refer to www.asus.com for the Memory QVL (Qualified Vendors Lists)."

2000 or 2133? Got a Corsair part number?
