Kingston Blu

Never had them, never tried them but quite often there isn't much room for overclocking with the "basic" 1600MHz RAM.

Do you need 8GB DIMMs as you only have 4 RAM slots?

Do you have an appropriate operating system so you can use 32GB of RAM?

Obviously you need 64 bit but with Windows 7 you need the Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate version.

Versions below those only support 16GB or less of RAM.
 
I have the 1333mhz version of this memory. I'm running 1500mhz at 1.4v (printed memory volt is 1.5v) with standard timings, computer is rock solid stable. I expect the memory would go higher but not tried.

Yeah, will be going Z77 so only 4 dimm slots and I'm not entirely sure I want to be limited to 16Gb and a RAMdrive in the future is appealing. Win 7 64bit Ultimate here so not a problem :)
