1.65v is the highest recommended ram voltage by intel... but you can go above that if you increase the core and mem controller voltages too. Current 1333 ram is good enough for good bandwidth + overclocks or you can get 1.65v rated ddr2000 (2133 soon too)..

I really wish i could afford to play with i7 ohmy.gif
