Low volts on mobo

[DBAAAAA]

Hi, I`m looking to some RAM`s and I want kingston hyperx, but there volts are 1.65V, and on the mobo said, that it can take only 1.5V, so would this be a problem, or they would still work?

It will just boot to the boards default at 1.5V and what ever speed JEDEC/SPD has for 1.5V. You will need to go into the bios and manually set the speed and timing and voltage.

That`s it? Thanks And is it a big difference between DDR3 1333 and DDR3 1600? mobo says it only takes 1066,1333,1866(OC), but there is nothing said about 1600
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-880GA-UD3H, AMD 880G / SB 850

Yes, it supports 1600. For the price difference between 1333 vs. 1600, I would get 1600.

Thanks, and now i saw in the shop an AMD Phenom II X2 "Callisto" 555 Black Edition, and it`s even cheaper than athlon II 640 which i was looking forward to, so my question, can i get that phenom cores unlocked with that gigabyte mobo, and would it be stable?

Yes the board will unlock. Will it unlock, depends on the luck of the draw. Of all the X2/3 I've had, more would unlock then would not. But thats not to say the one you get will.
