So a friend asked me to look at a build on PC part picker and I recommended a 16gb 2200 mhz kit because it was almost the same price as a 1600 mhz kit figuring it couldn't hurt to be faster.
Then I noticed PC part picker was warning me that the ram was spec'd at 1.55v which was over the haswell recommended value of 1.5v
My question is, is this a real issue or can you still safely use 1.5v~1.6v ram on haswell like most ordinary DDR3 platforms ?
I'm not familiar with how the IMC works on haswell with the ram voltage as I assumed it had no effect on the cpu as usual.
