I have seen 2400 mhz RAM modules, but I see they are all cas 11 which isnt as fast as CAS 9, i would recommend you find a 2133 MHZ kit with cas 9. And also i would wait a bit to upgrade your system. The new X99's and DDR4 have been released and a DDR4 2133 module is faster than a DDR3 2133 module, but then again that is my personal preference. And why do you need to upgrade your ram? That Kingston is a good kit unless they died.

EDIT: HOL UP! I found you a module

OR THIS

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... (2X8)

That is 2400 mhz cas 9 and the (2X8) is cas 11(slower but has enough for what you might need done) why didnt i notice it? XD here you go man, I would wait to upgrade, but then again that is my personal preference.
