Thanks for yous answer! Yes i will use 3 strips! But the max volts of OCZ 1800mhz are 1.9volts. You mean to stay under this max volt or the 1.65 max volt?

Well, the jury is still out on this, intel says - some where (I do not know where) not to exceed 1.65v but then there's the intel electrical spec - see below - not sure what to believe. I try to stay below 1.65, a lot of folks are going by the rule of keeping memory volts within 0.5v of qpi/vtt. So if your qpi/vtt is 1.35v, you want to keep your memory volts to leas than or equal to 1.85v. I know of no one that had fried their cpu (yet).
