So msi Asus asrock and gigabyte all have ddr3 boards out for skylake processors.thats why i order a asus h110m-k d3 1151 lga + gskill 8gb ddr3 1600mhzthe ( for my build.I had confusion which is now away as skylake supports only drr4/ddr3l
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... I'm happy to see this but still has bit confusion,does I have to lower the voltage to1.35v from 1.5v or will it be OK if I keeps it at default clock as it is?the mobo I have realesed in December and Im having it now?so any one out there with ddr3 standard rams?

Intel warns against it. It may not happen the first few days or weeks, there's no time indication but intel does warn against using 1.5v ram due to potential of damaging the memory controller which is part of the cpu itself, not the motherboard.

One option would be to undervolt the ram but it may or may not work stably depending on the ram. I think you'd be better off getting a proper motherboard for your skylake cpu and using ddr4 or buying ddr3L (low power ddr3 ram with 1.35v, not the same as plain ddr3 @ 1.5v).
