Quick advice needed! Buying some ram tonight

I can't seem to find a single review for this particular model. I wanted to ask about timings and overclock. From the customer reviews I've found on this model from Newegg and Microcenter than it only works at 1600 when set to 1.65v instead it's 1333 at stock.

Seeing as how I've just built and got back into PC's last year I'm surprised that you could even overclock ram. But since it's actually rated for 1600 should I not be worried and just spring for it and set the voltage up later?

ahhh, thats why i couldnt find them on the microcenter website. i cant really go to a microcenter as the closest is 16000KM away lol
i cant order from the egg either but its a good point of reference but sorry to hear you have abit of a fiasco going on with them, i thought they were one of the best

Here is where I am with it.
it looks fine to me, the only reason it is running just under 1600 is becuse your BCLK is just under 100MHz but that wont make the slightest bit of difference
