more voltage = more heat, shorter life
but, more voltage = more speed
so figure out what speed/timings you want, then find the lowest voltage.
This is kinda a general guideline.
if you are using an i7, don't go above 1.65v or you can damage the cpu. the same may apply for the newer phenom's, i'm not sure.
i know older amd cpu's had issues where high ram voltage combined with stock cpu voltage would blow the memory controller.
if it was me, i would get the 1600 ripjaws, overvolt to 1.65v and if i'm lucky, run 1600 cas7
