Simple Google search for the CPU and memory comes to this https://communities.intel.com/thread/28725

The memory compatibility isn't dependent SOLELY by the mobo, but what processor it is paired with. Your Process is maxed out for the memory type.

Check that you have the latest BIOS - your 2500K should be fine with this DRAM (I run 32GB of 2133/9 on my 2500K), get the latest BIOS, enable XMP and select profile 1...if any problem try raising the DRAM voltage + 0.05, if still problems, may want to run memtest on each stick (4-5 passes)

Ok tnx i enable XMP and for now is fine and i think i am set it to 1600mhz? how can i see ?

XMP would have set it to 1600 MHz, but if you want to double check download a program called CPU-Z and look only at the MEMORY tab, it should say the speed is 800mhz for 1600.

i enable only XMP and i have blue screen why?

Tradesman1 · Dec 13, 2013

If XMP is enabled, and a Bluescreen, try raising DRAM voltage + 0.05, if's it's in the voltage regulation this should take care of things, if blue screen comes back would guess a driver problem

Ok i will try but if not work what driver will be the problem?

Have you already installed windows?
From my experience I bsoded at 1600 with xmp. I disabled xmp for the instalation of windows and then reenabled it after. Everything worked fine that way for me

Typolo :

and what CPU MOBO u Memory u have

Typolo · Dec 14, 2013

F0rb1dd3n :

4770k, Asus Maximus VI Hero, and 8 gigs of corsair vengeance ddr3 ram (currently at 1600 with cl 7) I had to go down to 1333 with cl 9 to install windows. Newer stuff so might not be valid for the op

F0rb1dd3n · Dec 15, 2013

Typolo :

ok u say i set bios options to default then install new and clear windows with all drivers and then i go and enable XMP and nothing else you do ?

Tradesman1 · Dec 15, 2013

If still problems, then may want to run Memtest on each stick to see if you have a bad one

F0rb1dd3n · Dec 15, 2013

Ok i will try this and i will tell here what's happening when i`m done

Typolo · Dec 15, 2013

Yup, that's all i had to do. Good luck

F0rb1dd3n · Dec 15, 2013

Tradesman1 :

can u please tell me which drivers i have to download and install ? mobo p8z77-v lk ? and for my graphics ? radeon hd 7770 oc

Tradesman1 · Dec 15, 2013

You'll want all the latest drivers for your OS, while at the mobo site, also check that you have the latest BIOS

F0rb1dd3n · Dec 16, 2013

Ok but only 1 driver of all drivers of mobo ( 1 for usb 1 for ln 1 for chipset ) right? my bios update is 1001 the latest is 1301

Supahos · Dec 16, 2013

Don't use the auto detect feature for the Asus site, I have that same board and it will give you the drivers/bios for the P8Z77-V version not the V LK version and they won't install be sure to actually search for your board. I know the issue existed as recently as 2 weeks ago still.
