Asus mobo says that for ddr4 2400mhz ram to work you need O.C. but 2133mhz is working without oc, but on intel website i7 6700k says it supports only 1866 and 2133 mhz DDR4 ram - which one's i need to choose?
 
Solution
The 6700K can generally handle DRAM up to 2800-3000 with no CPU OC, beyond that may require a CPU OC. I've run 64GB of 3200/14 on my Hero with a 6600K. Make sure you have the latest BIOS, and simply insert the sticks, go to BIOS, enable XMP, profile 1 and should be good to go ;)

I can be your Hero baby..... sorry for that got too excited, im getting parts next week so until then doing research and asking about ram and stuff, so if i buy 2666mhz ram and insert them, then go to bios enable xmp and thats it, or i have to choose ram speed like 2666mhz because from 2133 and 2400mhz difference is only 0.4 nano seconds - in real life thats nothing....
