As I pointed out, the Corsair Dominator RAM runs 1.5v at 2133 mhz CAS 9. That is going to at least be equal to, or faster than 1600 mhz CAS 7.
Point is, budget value RAM is going to be 1.5v 1600...

1.8v... holy crap that's high. Intel recommends 1.5v or less. I see many people running 1.65v RAM, but I don't think I would go any higher.
You always have the option of lowering voltage by...

Intel has stated that their max safe voltage for RAM is 1.5v. Yours is likely a 1.65v kit, which can run at higher speeds due to the higher voltage.
The current Corsair Dominators run at 1.5v,...
