Ram for i5 3570k

[gibsonfirebird12]

Hello,

I have an i5 3570k with ASUS P8Z77-V. I am running Viper Xtreme Series 8GB DDR3-1866 (PC3-15000) CL9 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit (Two 4GB Memory Modules) for my RAM, but I just recently randomly read something online that said that the i5 only takes certain speeds and that 1.65 volts can hurt the CPU. Is this true?

Thanks.

edit: I haven't manually set any timings via bios. I just have whatever the stock settings are.

I think this thread covers your question rather well http://communities.intel.com/thread/30798
Hope it clarifies things a little
