Hi, I'm building my first PC. I bought 3 sticks of this RAM last November while trying to build the PC. But due to complications I had to postpone it. I forgot all about it until now and as I was researching CPU's on PCPartPicker this message keeps appearing on every CPU I try to incorperate...


Compatibility Notes

The Kingston - HyperX Fury Black 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory operating voltage of 1.5V exceeds the Intel Kaby Lake-S 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.
Flag compatibility notes as incorrect


Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, every new-ish processor (and there's just a few) that still supports DDR3 memory needs DDR3L (low voltage RAM), Normal DDR3 that runs at 1.5v would have to be downclocked to be able to run at lower voltage. The problem is in memory controller in the processors that may get damaged by higher voltage.
Best would be to sell that RAM while it still holds some value. Actually if you bought it 2 or more years ago, you should be able to sell it for more than you payed for as prices jumped a lot. They should be still under warranty which is 10 years.
Good part is that even if you run them at 1600 - 1330MHz you would not see much of performance drop.
