Hi, I'm currently using G.skill PC3-17600 2Gb x4, XMP memory at 2.2Ghz.
I was wondering "IF" I do get i7-2600k & P67mobo, would I be able to reuse my memory?
Oh also... would thermalright LGA1156 cooler compatible with LGA1155?

Thank you!

As long as that memory can operate at 1.65v or less, you should be fine. Should is the operative word. There's always the possibility that it's not compatible, as 1.65v is Sandy Bridge's upper limit for RAM voltage. If you're buying new RAM, you need something rated for 1.5v for full compatibility.

All 1156 coolers are compatible with 1155 boards.
