Hello everybody, 
I just bought the Intel DX58SO extreme Desktop Board. But to my surprise it had a yellow sheet saying : Operating the system with memory modules running higher than 1.6 V can result in damage to the processor and/or motherboard. Unfortunately I already have 2sets of OCZ triple Memory (PC3 12800 8-8-8 @ 1.65V Gold Series @ GB 1600).
Every motherboard I know X58 accepts Memory modules with 1.65V why does Intel's DX58S0 allow maximum 1.6V 
instead of the usual 1.65 V for X58 boards an i7 CPU. (mine i7-920). If I operate my computer with the above OCZ Memory will it be so bad, and if YES, could I underclock my Ram. Please explain exacty how I should do it.
thanks very much in advance for your prompt reply.
