Ram compatible with my mobo?

[O762]

Hello,

I have a MSI P67a-GD65 (B3) motherboard that according to MSI's website:

"Supports four unbuffered DIMM of 1.5 Volt DDR3 1066/1333/1600*/2133*(OC) DRAM, 32GB Max"

I recently bought Kingston Hyper XMP 8GB RAM, 1600 Mhz, Cl9 @ 1.65volts.

The question is will that ram be okay in my motherboard? and if not, is there something I can do, or should I buy some new ram?

RAM

Motherboard

Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

P.S. I wasn't sure which category to put this in, so apologies if it in the wrong location

Unless your motherboard can do it automatically, you'll have to adjust the voltage for the RAM in the BIOs since the RAM is set at a higher operating voltage.
