CORE I5 and DDR3 mempry voltage

[Huber]

hello.

i saw that the CORE i5 will need an 1.5-1.6V but i also see computers shops that offers CI5 systems with 1.7V memory - will it work without problems/stable?

I'm sure it'll be fine, but it's always better to stay on the safe side & run less voltage than more...

According to the recent Anandtech article:

The same sort of rules apply to Lynnfield memory kits that we saw with Bloomfield. You don't want to go above 1.65V
