And the bad news are that most probably the existing DDR3 kits are useless.

Non of the existing High Performance kits, between 1600-1800MHz, works with less than 1,8+V. To be more specific, I am referring to kits using GTR/GTS Micron chips, which I consider the best performers in DDR3 area. This proves that there is a problem with high voltage DDR3 kits, and the processor, if exposed, can be damaged.
Please, correct me if I am wrong, since you are already testing this combo.
Tony said that Nehalem needs less voltage for the same ram speeds so maybe today kit's need 1,8V with C2D,with Corei7 they will need only 1,6V.
Also A-DATA will start to sell 3GB and 6GB kits with 1,65V-1,75V from factory
