    It depends on the actual memory. I have a set of OCZ Platinum DDR3 1600 that's rated for 1.65v and I had a set of Corsair DDR3 1600 that was rated @ 1.7v. But it's best to use as little as possible so long as it's stable :D

    Your memory is rated at 1.5v

    You maybe able to reduce the volts in your system bios until Everest shows that your at 1.5v.
    However, Everest may not be reporting this correctly so it may become instable. Only testing will tell :D

    I'd trust the BIOS over Everest.
