Compatibility Notes
The G.Skill Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2133 Memory operating voltage of 1.6V exceeds the Intel Haswell Refresh CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.5V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum.

Am i OK to continue using this? or should RAM be replaced with one of a lower stock voltage?
According to http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/gaming/xmp-for-c... it shows 1.65v fine for 4770k but no 4790k on the lsit
