Safe RAM Voltages?

I just got an 8GB set of AMD Performance memory yesterday, and once I put it in my old G43 board, it would not boot. That is when I noticed that the RAM was 1.65v, not 1.5v. This isn't a problem now, as I still have 8GB in there, but when I move up to Ivy Bridge, will this cause problems? I know that 1.65v is not recommended for Sandy Bridge, so I don't know if it will be troublesome with Ivy as well. Should I just sell it and pick up some 1.5v sticks?

Wow this looks amazing! Are there any other 30nm RAM's?

Not only that, but it overclocks quite easily too. Both of my sets go to 1866, 9-9-9-26. As I said somewhere else, easily one of the most underrated sets of DDR3. Low profile, low voltage, can hardly recommend enough.

I am getting an 8GB set next month with IB.
