Hello,

I've just started replacing and updating a pc I built around an overclocked cpu bundle I bought in Jan, That was a 3570k build, I've moved to Haswell now and have a 4770k, a MSI Z87 G45 motherboard and one of the refurbished H100's you have. At the minute I'm still using the 2 x 4 gb sticks of Corsair vengeance ram @ 1600mhz that came with the 3570k bundle but I want to put that back with it so I'm looking for 2 x 8gb's of ram @ 2133 or 2400 mhz.

I don't plan on overclocking the ram above what it's marked as working at and have limited overclocking knowledge anyway.
I was looking at some Vengeance pro red ram that stated it was good at 1.5 volts, Is there a lot of things I'd need to do related to getting some that say's 1.65 volts or will it automatically do what's needed when I plug it in to have it running at the speed it's sold as running at?

Ie, I plug it in then turn on and go into the bio's and then presumably I'll be able to find a relevant xmp setting for it. Is that it? will it then run at 2133 or 2400 depending on which I get regardless of the rated volts and if not what else do I do?

Info on this as well as possible alternatives to the red vengeance pro ram at 2133 or 2400 that'll match nicely with the MSI black and red gaming design would be appreciated, Thankyou.
