the only thing is my board can run up to 1200mhz mem.
but the other reapers are PC9200 @1150 so it should run these fine then right?
or do i need the actual 1200mhz type?

Get ya some of the crucial Ballistix you wont be sorry. The ones i am running have impressed me so far. I had ocz pc8500 sli in my main rig but they wouldnt overclock for nothing. Heck they had a hard time running at stock. All they are doing now is collecting dust on my shelf. I was going to sell them on ebay but i said to heck with it why pawn some crappy ram on someone else. Sucks to because when i first bought them they cost well over $200.00 bucks. The ballistix clocks well with less than stock volts to. Just make sure you have some kind of cooling on them and you will be good to go. Tiger direct has some good deals going right now on them. Well thats my 2 cents hope this helps.
