Will 1.65V RAM with a CPU that recommends 1.5V cause problems?

Blazer1001 · Dec 15, 2014

The warning on PC part picker says that it will limit the RAM speed, which I can deal with for now as I will upgrade later on. I am wondering if it will cause any other problems beside a simple limitation. (Or if it will work at all.)

Those will work, but I'd be leery of using 1600 sticks that call for 1.65, it can indicative of chip/weak memory chips, over 90% of all 1600 sticks run on 1.5 or less - even high performance CL7 and CL8 DRAM sets run at 1.5 or under

Blazer1001 :

Ram speed will get limited to whatever it can run at 1.5v... Add voltage and kill the cpu.

The G3258 is unlocked, capable of OCing and running DRAM above 1333 and 1.65 isn't going to kill it, the 1.5 recommendation comes from the CPU at stock and running stock 1333 sticks
