I plan on getting a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 LGA motherboard. And I was going to get Corsair XMS2 ram with 4-4-4-12 timings at 2.1v. But the motherboard you have to use Ram with 5-5-5- or 6-6-6 timings at 1.8v. If I use the Ram that I was going to buy would it not work or something. Thanks in advance.

well, normally in a system's BIOS you can adjust the timings, but i dont know about the voltage. try and contact the mobo's manufacturer for more advice.
