Voltage?

I have a motherboard and ram, but i dont know if they are compatible becasue of the voltage thing. The mobo can handle DDR2 800 and that is what the RAM is, but the voltage thing is kind of wierd and i think that the RAM runs 2.1 volts with a 4 latency and the mobo can handle 1.8 volts with a 5 latency, but I am really not sure because the description for the RAM says 5 latency.

Can someone just tell me if these are compatible by going to the specs from these links?

RAM

CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145034



Motherboard

EVGA 122-CK-NF68-AR Socket T (LGA 775) NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard---$249.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131045


Thanks
 
Cons: Instructions make no mention of a Bios/Voltage issue you may encounter when installing DDR2 pc6400 Ram. I believe if you try to install ram with a voltage of 1.9 to 2.1 or higher the bios from the factory will not recognize it and you will get a black screen.

Yeah the voltage does matter, If you want them tight latencies i would look for a different motherboard. Or just get them both and run the RAM on a lower voltage and latencie.
