I thought the corsair XMS 3 ram was supposed to run at 1.65 volts, thats what mine says.

It's certified by Corsair to run 1600MHz at 1.65V but it'll usually run with a fair bit less.

Updating the sound drivers has made the problem no better what so ever.
Did a quick memtest and everything came though fine but im skeptical....
Possible faulty psu?

if anything its a dead board or its on the way out, ram rarely causes to many issues, the same with cpu. psu wouldn't cause these kind of issues, but you could try putting cpu under load and checking the rails. try a different gpu, and if the problem persists then id say its the board. unexplainable issues usually relate to a mobo in my opinion

This board is less than 6 months old! Will it still be RMA'able to overclockers?

i would say it is more the board than the memory if you tried fresh install of windows including latest drivers and also messing with the ram and still happening i would defo say the board ifit from OCUK you will be able to RMA it best thing to do is open a thread in customer service section and they will be able to help you in there
