Hi, you should not use 1.65 volts RAM with a 2600k , this CPU is design to work with 1.5 volts RAM.

Up to 1.65V is fine for the memory. Intel states the same in the documentation for their Sandy Bridge boards.

[Area_66]

So pushing the CPU over the spec is fine with you ???? it may be capable to run at 1,65 , but to say it's fine....

Every person I speak with at Intel always say the same, stick with 1.5V RAM, 1.65 v can damage the CPU . the spec of the CPU memory controler is 1.5 not 1.5-1.65v of course if you want shorter the lifespan of the CPU go ahead push it to 1.65v

More misinformation.

This is what is stated in all of Intel's P67/Z68 motherboard manuals.

• Unbuffered, non-registered single- or double-sided DIMMs with a voltage rating of
1.65 V or less
NOTE
Using a DIMM with a voltage rating higher than 1.65 V may damage the
processor.

The worst scenario I've seen with this is :(BENT PINS:( in the cpu socket.........bad news. Remove the cpu and check the pins in the cpu socket for those dreaded bent pins.

I had the same problem. After a lot of google digging I found out my solution, something very trivial and stupid: my RAM sticks were not properly inserted. As it turned out this motherboard has a funny RAM slots (with latches only on the top), so even when you think the RAM stick is all the way in, there is still a little push left on the bottom side to fully insert the stick.Try it out. Slots are really stiff so you might need to push a bit harder. Good luck!
