Definite Answer - Memory volttage for Sandy Bridge i7 2600K

[idata]

Hello ive been looking for confirmation about this subject, but everyone state opposite, and i don't know who to trust....

So i would love to hear from an Intel emploey - enginer or whatever, is it ok to run 1.65V memory kits on SB?

And one more thing, i plan to use the same memory for my future Ivy Bridge build, and i heard that Ivy will use 1.35v ram as a default, which is even lower then the present 1.5v recommended, so if i buy 1.65v now i cant use it later for Ivy Bridge build, which will be compatable with present p67/z68 boards as far as i know.

Where i live is kinda hard to find 1.5v modules so i must know the real answer, is it really safe to run 1.65v memory?

Thanks!

I've been trying to get the same answer for an i5-2500k... and I'm holding off on the purchase until I get one.

For what it's worth, here's what I got from Intel 'Live Chat Support'...

hi, can you tell me if I can use memory rated at 1.65 volts (safely) with an i5-2500k?

Karla: All Intel(R) Core(tm) i3, Intel(R) Core(tm) i5 and Intel(R) Core(tm) i7 processors support memory running at a 1.5V no more than 1.60V Karla: So you may use it but most likely the processor will fail very soon as the memory controller would be then forced to run out of specifications Karla: And the system will also most likely start running unstable, or freezing or even restarting

However, I'm not sure if the question I asked was answered... I was asking about using 1.65v memory... not running memory at 1.65v...

Thoughts anyone???
