Hi,
I just purchased computer parts and I got this motherboard:

And this RAM:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226221
As you can see the RAM is 1.65V, however from what I just read on many websites, apparently, 1.65V is harmful to Ivy Bridge or is not compatable? Any truth to this, because I only saw forums on this subject, not official articles. On my 1366 X58 motherboard, I've been running 1.65V ram for 3 years now with zero issues.
If it is not compatible, do I need to return the ram or can I just down clock timings and voltage, or does the motherboard throttle it automatically?
