Memory Compatibility Question

Hey, i recently ordered a new setup.

however skimming over the RAM and Motherboard I'm wondering if they will work together when it comes to overclocking the CPU.

the parts are:

OCZ Reaper 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 16000C9 2000MHz
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-202-OC

Asus P6X58D-E Intel X58 (Socket 1366) DDR3
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-399-AS

Intel Core i7 930 2.80GHz (Bloomfield) (Socket LGA1366)
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-320-IN

Will they be fine together when getting the i7 up to a 4ghz overclock?

thanks in advance

Yes, they should work fine together, what cpu cooler are you thinking of using.

Gone with the Corsair H70.

Fancied something different to the usual CPU Heatsink.

Should be fine for a 4ghz overclock right?

also thanks for the speedy reply

cool, he says at the end that his case wasn't very optimal for cooling, only 1 front intake fan. whereas my case is the antec twelve hundred, im guessing this should hopefully keep it nicely cooled.
