790FX + RAMs at 1.65v ok?

[speedo5]

(I posted this at New System Build section but no one is answering and it fits here anyway)

I have the following

MSI 790FX-GD70
Phenom II X4 Black Edition 965, 3400 MHz (17 x 200)
2x Kingston DDR3-1333 DDR3 rated 1.65
Sapphire 5850
W7 64bit
VISA 3945789383kidding


All of my drivers and have been updated including my BIOS

My PC runs ok with regular use but I hear clicks when I run demanding games. I installed HD 4870 to see if it was the video card, it ran fine. But my 5850 ran super without clicks on another computer with lower specs. I know my motherboard is supposed to have rams rated at 1.5v, so I though maybe this would fix it?

I also tried running TRIXX but my monitor turns black and one of my fan goes at 100%, I hear some clicking noise as soon as I run it. Same thing happened when I started playing games at max settings. I have been using this computer with adobe apps and to browse the net, no problem.

And when I try to allow my mobo to auto overclock, nothing is displayed on my monitor during and after boot. So I am guessing it's a compatibility issue with the rams and the mobo. What do you think?

have you tried finding exactly what the clicks are coming from?
there are a lot of components which can start clicking...

I have this

Wattage: 850-Watt
Ultra X3 850-Watt ATX
Input Voltage: 115 ~ 230
+3.3V: 24 A
+5V: 28 A
+12V 1: 55 A
-12V: 0.8 A
+5VSB: 3 A

I'll come back after memtest and yes I have tried few things

I used memtest86+ 4.0 and 5 passes and no errors

The only piece of hardware that should click is the hard-drive. I mean it will be by far the loudest part of the PC other than any fans you might have. If the memory you purchased is on the QVL list you have nothing to worry about.
