Basically I have a rampage IV formula with a 3930k Overclocked to 4.7Ghz however my motherboard spec only lists :
DR3 - 1066
DDR3 - 1333
DDR3 - 1600
DDR3 - 1800(OC)
DDR3 - 2000(OC)
DDR3 - 2133(OC)
DDR3 - 2200(OC)
DDR3 - 2400(OC)

What does the OC mean exactly, and does this mean the memory will not function in my rig, it was won in a gaming tournament so I've not lost any cash on it I would just like to have it in my rig for the e-Peen to be frank.

If it is compatible how do I reach these speeds?

Any help is appreciated.

The OC means you may need to OC the CPU at that speed. To try your sticks, make sure you have the latest BIOS, enable XMP and see if there's a choice for 2666, If not set XMP to 2400 and see what happens, then if you can boot into BIOS, go to DRAM freq and see if you can manually enter 2666, set the base timings manually, set DRAM voltage to + 0.06 above spec voltage and raise the MC voltage + 0.07
