I bought a 8GB kit of G.Skill Trident X memory running at 1.65 volt's I was wondering if there was to lower the voltage. Maybe reducing it to 1866MHZ, but sadly I have no clue on how to do so. Should just leave it? I also heard you lose your warranty by running at 1.65V. My MOBO model is an Asus Z97 pro and my CPU is a i5 4690k. Currently I have turned XMP off, so i'm assuming it's running at 1600MHZ, not sure what the timings are. Thanks in advance. :)

1.65 volts is just above the recommended voltage. Basically you are just overclocking by running at the RAM's desired settings.

In your BIOS you should be able to set your RAM settings by hand. Disable XMP and poke around. Probably under the AI Tuner and Advanced sections in the BIOS.

You might be able run tighter timings by reducing the frequency.

Conversely you could keep the frequency high and loosen the timings and try the lower voltage.

You don't have to go all the way down to 1.5v either. +/- 5% so 1.575v is considered within range.
