Would 1666 MHz RAM Work on a 1333MHz Mobo?

Mobo - ASUS P8H67-M PRO
CPU - Intel Core i5 2400

Would a pair of 2x4GB DDR3 1666MHz RAM work with this mobo? I'm looking at purchasing this kit of RAM and don't want to end up with RAM that isn't compatible, It say's that the max my motherboard supports is DDR3 1333MHz.

it will work but will run at 1333mhz

Yup it will work. Only thing is that both the rams will only run at 1333MHz. But if you are not a high end user or a dedicated gamer you will probably not notice the difference between a 1600MHz ram and a 1333MHz ram. So yeah go ahead and buy the ram.
