Asus P8Z68-V PRO & 16 gigs

Its been awhile since i have posted, but i am building a new rig.

I have the asus p8z68 pro board and a 2600k, and am looking to order my ram in a couple days - and want to run 16 gigs of ram. Anyone having issues with that? what ram would you recommend? Can you still oc with 16 gigs?

Looking at the Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9, thoughts?

Appreciate any feedback.

One of our guys did some 16GB OCing on Sandy Bridge a month or 2 ago.

why bother oc memory? its useless


just leave it at 1600mhz.

I have the same setup but I have not tried to OC the ram yet. It works fine not OC'ed so far.

Not trying to oc the memory, just looking to oc the 2600k (unlocked cpu). Maybe things have changed, but wanted to know if i could oc with that amount of ram (years ago, lower oc's occurred with higher amounts of ram).

I know, back then you oc'd by raising FSB etc.
