Well, I upgraded to a asus p8p67 pro and a i7-2600k. The memory I chose to go with this was http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233147&cm_re=corsair_vengeance-_-20-233-147...
Corsair vengeance Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8 9-9-9-24 timings two 4g sticks dual channel 1.5v and it says its Designed specifically for the latest CPUs as well as the 2nd generation (Sandy Bridge) Intel Core processor family.
Well, Everything is still shipping over here and will arrive here in a few days time. I've been hearing bad things about memory so I decided to look at the QVL (qualified vendor list) for the memory and I did not see the corsair vengeance model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8 on the list.
Am I going to have problems in the future or will this ram work with this board?

I seem to be having memory issues as well. I bought 4 2g sticks with the same timing as yours made by a generic vendor. I bought them at the local microcenter. The bios saw all 8g until yesterday afternoon. I came home from work and it was only seeing 4g. All of the memory sticks work individually and no matter what combination I put them in the most the bios will ever see is 2g or 4g depending on how many sticks I have in of course. You mentioned youve been hearing bad things about memory. Could you explain a bit more???

One of the problems is that most DDR3 requires 1.65v to operate at rated speed and the newer memory controllers in the Sandy Bridge chips are designed for memory that operates at 1.5V. It's possible that your generic memory was taxing the memory controller and it is now damaged. But you may want to try some other DIMMS to see if they work differently.
