RAM questions

    My Mobo is a P6X58D-e and my RAM is Corsair XMS3 9-9-9-24 1600MHz 1.65v.
    I had a RAM fault and had to send back one kit of three for a refund which leaves me with 3*2GB DIMMS. The product is no longer manufactured, so my questions:

    If I can buy another 6GB to match what I have and can find matching timings and clock will it function or is there still a risk it won't work?

    I've noticed a lot of available replacements are 1.5v, would my board autodetect this and adjust or do I need to get a 1.65v replacement?

    If I just need to buy a whole new set of 6 modules would there be any bios trickery needed to take 1.5v?

    I've never mismatched RAM before, always bought full matching sets so I'm not entirely sure what to buy.
