Hi everyone! I've got a little doubt here. I'm planning to build a new desktop with AMD A8-7600 as the processor and 2 x 4 GB GSkill ripjawsX/ Sniper series 2133 Mhz RAM modules, and I would most probably be buying a Gigabyte 88x or 78 chipset MoBo as there are no after-sales service issues in my region( I have no idea about the same for MSI and ASRock). So here's where I'm stuck at : The DDR3 DIMM sockets are rated at 1.5 V, and the RAM modules require 1.65 V. Is that going to be a problem? Will I need to operate the RAMs to a lower frequency? If so, I do have an option to buy the same series RAM clocked at 1866 Mhz which need 1.5V (unlike their 2133 brothers which need 1.65V). Both 2133 and 1866 would cost me exactly the same. What do you guys suggest?
