hey there, im currently using a 8 gb (4x2) corsair vengeance @1600mhz (cmz4gx3m1a1600c9)

the problem is while my motherboard (MSI P67A-GD65) default setting clock only support @1333 which is i could get a @1600 but i'll have to OC it first. is it okay if i'll do that for a daily use?

also i always seated my ram to the motherboard in slot 2 and 4 not slot 1 and 3 is it okay? because the slot 1 are blocked by my big ass cpu cooler and my ram have a big heatspreader too so it wouldnt fit in.

here it is the product link to my motherboard

and here it is my rig:
MSI P67A-GD65
i5 3570
gtx 690
8gb ram
2tb hdd

Have no idea about the first and as for ram seating it depends. My motherboard for some reason uses slots 2 and 4 as the main. So it depends on your motherboard. I'm too lazy to look it up. But either way it should work fine.
