2 * 2GB corsair XMS2 rated at 1.9v
2 * 1GB geil ultra low latency rated at 2.1v

Would it be safe to run the corsair at 2.1v to match the geil RAM?

Cheers.
 
The Geil probably only needs the 2.1v to run at it's ultra low latencies. You will have to run them all at same latencies of the Corsair so they probably will run at 1.9v fine.
 
The 2.1v won't hurt the XMS. But, the best idea is to get both sets running at the lowest voltage you can. As noted the Geil will probably run at less than 2.1v if you loosen the latencies. Set the timings manually to the timings of the "slower" set and try 1.9v and see what happens.
