I am in the midst of the i5 build in my signature, and it was pointed out to me recently that the 1156 socket is rated for DDR3 RAM with voltages up to 1.65V. Well, this was news to me. Somehow I missed this in all of my wonderful "comprehensive" research, and it turns out I'm a complete voltage moron. So, that said, I checked the RAM that I bought on Newegg, and the voltage rating is 1.7V. I don't have a video card or the CPU cooler bracket, yet, so nothing has been powered on or tested. I'm just wondering if I should send it back now, or if it may be worth a shot.
UPDATE: Thanks everyone! Crisis averted. I RMA'd the OCZ memory and ordered 4GB of Corsair Dominator.
