So I got my parts today, a phenom II X4 955 BE and an Asus M4A79XTD EVO

But I just noticed in the RAM description it says low voltage, optimized for intel.
So will I still be able to use it on my AMD mobo?

DDR3 normally requires 1.5V, therefore 1.65V is at the upper limit for Core i7 or i5 CPUs. Does an AMD platform require DDR3 RAM voltage exceeding the specs? I don't think so.

psch 1.65v is not low voltage for DDR3 (1.5v is stock)

this is low voltage: GeIL Green Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 is 1.3v
