Here's the RAM I bought recently:
G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3
1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C8D-8GAB
My MB is: ASRock Z68 Extreme 3 Gen 3
My CPU is: Intel Corei5 (2500K)
Note: Everything is currently at default settings. No updates/no changes by me, yet.
My Motherboard's "Extreme Tuning Utility" shows that my DRAM Voltage is: 1.529V
According to the Newegg website (where I bought the RAM), the Voltage setting should be: 1.5V
Link to Newegg's page about this specific RAM and its Voltage & Timing:

Do I also need to manually set the Timing? If so, where and how do I do that correctly?
I'm a novice at of this, so I'm asking if I need to change "something, somewhere" to set the RAM to the proper value? I do not want to harm my brand-new computer build.
What do you suggest?
