I’m having to build a new system and I’m starting with a I7 processor / motherboard combo. The processor is the I7 2600K 3.4Ghz and the board is the P8Z68-V LX
Intel says the memory supported by the I7 is…
Max Memory size (dependent on memory type) 32gb
Memory Types DDR3 1066/1333
The specs for memory on the board are…
4 x DIMM, Max. 32GB, DDR3 2200(O.C.)/2133(O.C.)/1866(O.C.)/1600/1333/1066 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory
Dual Channel Memory Architecture
Supports Intel® Extreme Memory Profile (XMP)
* Hyper DIMM support is subject to the physical characteristics of individual CPUs.
* Refer to www.asus.com or user manual for the Memory QVL (Qualified Vendors Lists).
* Due to CPU behavior, DDR3 2200/2000/1800 MHz memory module will run at DDR3 2133/1866/1600 MHz frequency as default.
I’m not real clear on the different memory designations. What is going to be my best choice for memory. I’m looking on Newegg at Corsair Vengeance. Newegg list this memory …

This is two 4 Gb sticks for 8Gb of memory and I’m planning to put in 4 sticks for 16Gb. If I go with this memory am I going to have to do any tweeking in he BIOS in order for it to run? In fact will it run OK?
