I am going to buy a skylate CPU, I have a DDR3 ram, will it be a big problem using them together?, according to PcPartPicker I get this:

The Corsair Vengeance 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory operating voltage of 1.5V exceeds the Intel Skylake CPU recommended maximum of 1.35V+5% (1.417V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.35V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum.

Some web posts claims that they will work together.
Thanks

People have used them together, intel doesn't recommend it. Motherboards claim support but it's not that easy since the motherboard doesn't contain the memory controller, it's built into the cpu. It could potentially damage the memory controller, no telling if it absolutely will or absolutely won't. If it does the cpu won't be covered under warranty. Given the relatively low cost of ram I wouldn't risk it but that's me.
