Solution
If you're not sure, check the qvl (memory) list for your board on it's website. It will list some brands and model numbers that are tested. The better stuff will run at 1.5 volts, giving you some room for bumping up the voltage to 1.65 for overclocking. The QVL should have some listed at 1.5v; that's what I would use.
