Motherboard

so now the question,
I was reading about the I7 that it can only handle voltages up to 1.65V. IN which i purchased the mushkin Enhanced which voltage is 1.85V. Has anyone tried these two items together if so let me know how it did?
Second question, what kind of memory do you guys recommend for gaming? ( i have seen all the reviews just wanted to grasp some recent perspective from people here on toms hardware)
