ive just upgrade to an asus p7p55d-e mobo and intel i5 750 and ocz memory pc3-10666 1333mhz (ocz3g13334gk cl-9-9-9-20 @1.7v) . noW my question is the memory is supposed to run at 1.7volts but on reading the manual for my mobo its says intel do not recommend using memory voltage any higher than 1.65volts on the i5-750 as it may damage the cpu can someone tell me if this is the case or will i be safe to run the ocz memory at 1.7volts.many thanks in advance

The RAM will likely work fine at 1.65V so try it.

A 0.05V to 1.7V would likely not damage the CPU.
