M5A88-M = Vengeance DDR3 1600?

[Grangier]

I've checked everything else but is the M5A88-M compatible with the Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600? I've gotten many mixed replies.

It should work. Your mobo will downclock it to 1333mhz as it doesn't supports 1600mhz memory.

but the MoBo can be overclocked to 1600.. 2000(max)..
is it safe to OC it? and if its safe.. how can i OC it safely?

You would hardly notice any difference between 1333mhz & 1600mhz.
IMO, its not worth the hassle.
