The G.Skill Trident X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2400 Memory operating voltage of 1.65V 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.
Anyways, someone commented on a different thread that this meant that by running the ram mentioned above, I could possibly damage my CPU. However, through a few searches, I've found some information.
One piece of information said that I need to overclock my CPU in order to balance the memory controller.
A different one said that I need not do anything at all and the only reason Intel set this at 1.5 is to keep people from running RAM at crazy high voltages.
Any insight?
Additional information: The board I plan to use it on (Asus Maximus VII Hero) supports 2400mhz RAM if overclocked (which basically just means changing the motherboard default to the 2400mhz clock), so it's really just an issue of whether or not I should run it at that speed/voltage.
