What if Mobo's site and G.skill's site's compatibility list differs?

Why not 1.6v?

I am looking at this-G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-2133C10D-8GXM
 
...which is probably why Gigabyte doesn't have that RAM on the compatable list. 😉

With Ivy Bridge forward the recommendation is 1.5v or lower. It's possible you could take that RAM and undervolt it and run it at 1.5v, but I wouldn't waste my time... or manually set the RAM voltage to 1.6v... but I would just get 1.5v RAM.

I'm actually running 1.35v Samsung RAM (at 1.22v)
 
The only problem with the mobo's recommended ram is that it seems some of them have been discontinued.. So, I should just stick with 1600 1.5v ram and I should be fine?
 
I'd go buy the mobo's list over the ram's list. Thing is they don't test every ram for a given mobo. Just some of them. One thing you could do is look through all the reviews on the NE site concerning that very mobo. If anyone has used the ram you want to use without problems then its a safe bet you will have no problem.
