That kit should be fine to use, looks like many users in the reviews said it was good in GA-X58 boards too so you should be good to go with that.

These would also be fine, a tad bit more $$ but much better timings and looks

Hi everyone,

The problem with OCZ3P1333LV6GK is that this memory will only run at 1066 not 1333 TRUST me I had that memory and figured this out! The memory I switched to was OCZ3P1333LVA6GK which OCZ installed 1866 - 2000 chips inside these. I spent over 30 hours and applying much QUI/VTT on the OCZ3P1333LV6GK to only find out from tech support that they will not all perform at that level! Bummer I know you don't get what you think you paying for. But I will tell you if you want something that performs out of this world and 100% overclocked then get OCZ3P1333LVA6GK you will not regret these!

I honestly don't regret getting the 1333 low voltage Kit, i wanted a slower frequency ram with tight cas latency as I planned on keeping my 920 at stock most of the time.

I was surprised that my first kit was dud, however the kit im using now is flawless now that I have the right configuration for it. the 1333 Platinum is extremely good memory, when its a healthy kit with the right settings.

Higher frequency memory only requires you to run your uncore faster (and many other tweaked settings), resulting in some extra speeds (IRL noticeable?) but heaps more heat.
