Asus R4BE M/Board Ram Selection need some help

What ram to use on a R4BE has been asked before if it has I apologize could not find any information. Preparing to purchase the Ram and need some clarification. Not over clocking the Ram.

Custom liquid cooled system.
R4BE Mother Board
CPU I7 4930K should clock to 4.6GHz 24/7

From G-Skill Support:

This makes since:

1. We don't recommend mixing two or more memory kits together because it may
cause compatibility issues, such as unable to boot or unable to perform at
rated speeds. The compatibility issues stem from different IC chips that may
not be compatible between the different kits. That's why we test each memory
kit to ensure that there are no compatibility issue within a single matching
set kit.

Therefore, if you are looking for 64GB total, it is highly recommended to
get a 8GBx8 memory kit that comes in a single package.

This Does Not make since to me:

2. 2133MHz and 2400MHz are overclocked memory kits. It will not likely work
well with your system because you are already overclocking your CPU to 4.5GHz
thru 4.8GHz. In this case, we recommend 1600MHz instead, which is not overclocked and should work better with your CPU overclock.

Need some help with this: Why would 2133MHz or 2400Mhz cause a conflict when over clocking the 4930K CPU?

Please will some one explain why 1600MHz kit should be used rather than 2133MHz in the Z series?

Is anyone using Trident 2133MHz with a over clocked CPU?

Looking at the Trident how ever G Skill is not recommending the Trident on the R4BE Board but the Z series instead?

its the ememory controller inside the CPU it self.
you may be lucky or you may not be lucky to get it to work whit a 64gig kit OC'd to 2400mhz on a CPU from 4.6 - 4.8'ish ghz.
so all in all it comes donw to the CPU and how strong the controller is, and thats a lotto in its self.
you may be lucky or you may not be lucky.
its the same whit OC'ing the CPU too, you may get one thats not easy to OC ( lets say it gets stuck at 4.3ghz and at high votlage and high temps ) or you may be lucky to get one that can OC whit no problem whit low voltage and low temps.

Yep, its about what is guaranteed to work by Intel...1866 one dimm per channel....1600 all slots filled. Everything else is overclocking and is CPU dependant...
