I just bought 8gb of GSkill 8500 1066 RAM. They are rated 2.0-2.1 volts. I then ordered a MSI P43 Neo3-F motherboard. The manual for the motherboard says it handles RAM at 1.8 volts.

The question, will my RAM work with my motherboard or do I need to replace one or the other?

Thanks for helping a newb!
 
I can't imagine that the board would limit the RAM voltage to 1.8v. You might have to set it manually to 2.1, but it should work.
