All,

I selected my components from pcpartpicker for you all to see the concern I have with the memory I selected. If I water cool the cpu, could I exceed the 1.575 voltage to go to 1.6 for the voltage compatibility for this G.Skill memory?

Thanks,

Please remove the OCZ drive and get a Samsung. With OCZ being bankrupt you may not get any warranty.
 
As long as you keep the IMC voltage within 0.3-0.4v of the CPU voltage, you should be fine. Just set most of your voltages manually, and you should be fine.

Leaving everything on Auto is what is dangerous.

Last time I looked at the spec sheets, Intel had changed it to within 0.5v, which is what I generally go by.

The newer Intel processors (LGA 2011, 1150) do not need near as much IMC voltage as the older ones (LGA 1366, 1156) did.
 
You can go to 1.6V regardless of the cooling method, but realize that temperature alone doesn't determine upper voltage limits
