Hi guys,
I'm looking at getting a Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3R-B3 motherboard, which says it can take 4 x 1.5v ram sticks, but all the ram im looking at seems to be 1.6v - 1.65v. These sticks say they are compatible with the GA-Z68X-UD5-B3 and GA-Z68X-UD7-B3 motherboards, which also say they accept 4 x 1.5v ram sticks, so can anyone confirm that these sticks will work with my chosen board?
For references, I'm looking at the F3-17000CL9D-8GBXLD memory. Also, one of the sites I'm looking at buying the ram from had 2 models with slightly different pricing, but I can't seem to find a difference between them:
GS-F3-17000CL9D-8GBXLD
b/Dual-F3-17000CL9D-8GBXLD
Can anyone tell me if there's a difference between these two and if they are both compatible with my board? Also, will I have issues with heating if I don't use the fan that comes with the 8gb kit?
Thanks

I might also be looking at getting 2 sets of the 4GB kits instead if it works out to be cheaper (4 x 2gb sticks total). The specs for that kit is http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=366 . Note that this one is 1.6v and the 8gb kit is 1.65v.
