So yeah, I've got some free brand new Kingston Hyper X Preformance RAM 2133Mhz. Now, my motherboard "supports" up to 1866 native I think. Now is it even possible? And if yes, wich adjustments should I make?

Specs;

Cpu: AMD Phenom II x4 965 (OC to 4.0Ghz)
MB: M5A99X-Evo
GPU: HD 7770 (OC 1.125Ghz)
SSD: OCZ Vertex 450
PSU: Corsair CX500

Thanks in advanced.

Yes, you'll be able to run them. However they won't run at 2133Mhz.

So they'll run at the max that my motherboard will do? And also, I see now, that my MB page, sais it can run it but with OC behind it. What do they mean by that?

You MIGHT get the RAM to run at faster than 1600 MHz if you select an XMP profile that runs at 1.5 volts or less .

It would certainly help if that specific RAM has been qualified by Asus for your motherboard. Otherwise, in lieu of focusing on higher RAM speeds your best performance benefit will come from lowered timings at 1600MHz and raising the IMC/NB speed (NOT the HT Link speed - keep it as close to stock 2000MHz via the multiplier as practical).

For each 10% you increase the IMC/NB speed, memory bandwidth is increased 5-6%, and latency is reduced 5-6%.
