Dear Community,
Recently, I managed to pick up some Kingston HyperX DDR3 RAM at 1800mhz ( http://www.valueram.com/datasheets/KHX1800C8D3K2_4G.pdf ) but I was unaware of the implications and impacts that this will have on my new intel i5 750 CPU. I am aware that intel states that anything "above 1.65v" will cause damage to i5/i7 processors, and in this case, the RAM seems completely incompatible. Would there be any other approaches to get the RAM working safe and sound? Would underclocking it work (and at the same time, lowering the voltage)? I'm just kind of worried it might even damage my i5 in the process, even before getting to the BIOS?
Many thanks in advance.

I'm guessing my goal will be 9-9-9-24.
