Underclocking Ram to make it compatible with a motherboard?

1333Mhz ram will work for sure. I know people that use 2x2GB OCZ Black Edition 1600MHz 8-8-8-24. the best way is to check on asus website. your ram is in the supported list, so u wont even need to underclock it, u can run it ~1600Mhz, use the ram ratios.
