1) DDR3 G.Skill Ares F3-1333C9D-8GAO 1333MHz 8GB (2x4GB) 9-9-9 2N Low Profile
Any good for my Asus Z77-A? I want to overclock my i7 2700k, so I want them to be the most suited for my cpu.
2) Can 1600 mhz quad channel rams ruin a motherboard if the cpu is oc and only supports 1333 mhz dual channel rams? Because I have a defected Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe mobo that can't handle more than 3 slot of ram and if that's the case, I don't want them to ruin my Asus Z77-A too. I'm talking about the Corsair CML16GX3M4X1600C8.
 
Solution
RAM isn't going to ruin your mobo, that said, it sounds like the mobo already has problems and should be replaced if you only have 3 working DRAM slots. As far as the 2700K, it can handles 1600 sticks with no problem

Yeah but what can be broken inside of my mobo? I know it isnt software related, I tried everything and nothing worked. All 4 slots are working, same for the ram modules, but when using all of them together, blue screen all day.

When I tried VCCSA set to 1.10 I got an overclock error and the number is displayed as red in the bios, so I really dunno. Funny thing, everything was working at the beginning, but after 2 months or so, I got this problem.
