No, it's not OK. Where did you find 2.0V DDR3 RAM?

There were some early 2.0 models, back 2009 or so

loll, had some old dominator ram sitting on the shelf....it says 2.0V 2133mhz.
but why is 2.0v not good ?

 

[noorerino]

so z87 + 2.0v is a no go?

Yeah, even 1.65V is considered borderline for the LGA1150 CPUs by most, so 2.0V is definitely not going to be a good idea, unless you underclock and undervolt it in the BIOS first.

1.65 is perfectly fine, Intel even certifies 1.65 sticks
