On the Asus Maximus IV Extreme which ram shall I get?
So far I've looked at two kits; Corsair Vengence 8gb and Dominator GT 8gb. For my needs, I will be overclocking with the i7 2600k chip and just need some advice. Other suggestions would be welcome too, preferably 8gb and at 1866Mhz+, but I'll settle for 1600Mhz if need be.
 
Ram plays little or no part in overclocking this platform. It is independent of the CPU clock as a rule. Therefore you can basically have any ram that takes your fancy. If you ram will run 2133MHz then you can set it to do so in the BIOS and still run your CPU at stock for example. The same goes if you run your CPU at x57 multi. The ram speed will stay the same.

It is possible to increase the frequency of the ram using BCLK setting but it is not recommended or in truth needed.
