it should. definitely. as long as you have it set to 1600mhzyou dont lose or gain performance. but with 1333mhz ram you are lossing about 10% FPS

While the board does not natively support 1600MHZ RAM out of the box, with a little bit of time (5 minutes at most) and patience the RAM can be clocked to 1600, with the voltage and timings set to manufacturer specifications.

Buy the RAM and overclock it to the manufacturer's specifications in the BIOS

Definetly. Might be a little unstable but nothing to worry about at all.

Should work completely stable if you follow the RAM's specified voltages and timings. (Usually stated somewhire in the box of the RAM modules, or in a piece of paper included with the RAM.)
