I won this in a FaceBook contest a month or so back. (Hosted by Sapphire Technology Club) The 'Manic Monday'. And they have been just sitting here, and i'm curious to pop 'em in and try em out. But they are 1.65V DIMM's. And my question is. Are 1.65V Ram safe to use on my Z68, Sandybridge set up with my 2500K? This is the ram. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820103008

Yes, people are running 1.65v ram on p67/z68, but that is the max voltage recomended. I wouldn't go any higher.
