Guys i would like to enable XMP profile but im afraid of the voltage increase if it can damage my system or not : ) here are my specs :
MSI Z87 G45
Intel i5 4670k @4.3 Ghz (Core voltage - 1.19 and ring voltage - 1.17 )
2 * 4 Kingston hyper x beast @1600 CL9 240 khx16c9t3K2/8x dual channeled
and now for my question:
If i enable XMP the bios says : "DDR3 1600Mhz 9-9-9-27 1.650v"
Im a little afraid of that voltage increase. can it damage my system or not ? :)

Shouldn't damage anything, 1.65 is more voltage than is needed for basic 1600/9 entry level sticks that can be indicative of them using cheap ICs (memory chips)...having 1.5 sticks would be preferable but these will work
