Why is there 1.65v RAM on Intel's own Memory compatibility spreadsheet.

If Intel processors don't support more than 1.5V memory for SB and IB why are there 1.6V and 1.65V RAM kits listed in the Compatible Memory for 1st, 2nd and 3rd Gen Intel Core i5 and i7 processor spreadsheets?

Hello,

 

Could you please provide me with the link of the spreadsheet?

 

It is possible that you are looking at a list of recommended memory for XMP profiles. If it is, then is totally expected to find memory with higher voltages because XMP profiles are made for easy over clocking, and over clocking is a practice that exceeds the standard processor specifications and it is not support it.

 

Regards.
