I want to use a 1866/2133/2400mhz 8gb (4gbx2) kit for my motherboard. Because for me, it's kind of a cool thing to have a fast memory and I have never tried using memories above 1333. My processor is a 4770k and I will be using the IGP, for the moment. I'll be using the PC for gaming and other tasks such as editing, video converting, etc. Now, Haswell, can only handle up to 1600mhz ram. If I use ram above 1600, warranty will be void?

Here are my partial choices:

Corsair Vengeance Pro 2133 CL11 (11-11-11-27) 1.5v
Corsair Vengeance 2133 CL11 (11-11-11-27) 1.5v
Corsair Dominator 2133 CL9 (9-11-11-31) 1.65v

I've read that memories with low Cls are better. Does that mean Vengeance CL11 are not good?
I didn't include Gskill memories because there was no 8gb (4gb x2) listed according to Maximus Impact VI QVL, only quad-channel Gskill memory kits for 2133

Please help. I really need your recommendations and opinions.

Oh then you must buy just two sticks :)
Then maybe this is good buy.

What mobo is that? Btw.
You can OC memory faster. I have G.skill 1600MHz memory and it is running fine 1866MHz. With tight settings. (low Cl)
So 1866 can go over 2000MHz.
