For that kind of RAM, you should be looking over in the
xtremesystems.org forums in the Intel section. I notice a
few people having trouble hitting DDR3-2000, so it may
require a bit more tweaking than setting everything to Auto.
You would only buy memory like that, if you expected to be
using it at those speeds.
There is a person here, running RAM at 1.78V. And you can
see from his results, he's in 2000 country. Judging by
the CPU Vcore, these settings will only be used for a
short time (1.6V Vcore is way too much).

Corsair also has user forums. You can see what "Ram Guy"
recommends for Sandy Bridge here.

The Corsair configurator doesn't seem to be up to date,
and is missing your motherboard. Give this a try anyway -
maybe I don't know how to use this thing...

Your Asus motherboard should have a memory compatibility
chart on the Asus website. The chart may be interesting
in terms of trends (like how easy it is to hit 2000 speeds),
but the chart is a poor aid for shopping - the modules
in the list are hardly ever for sale anywhere.
I recommend spending a couple days going through the
xtremesystems info first, and maybe they have some ideas
on what the best RAM for the purpose would be.

Those RAM compatibility lists on ASUS motherboards are usually out of date,
unless you buy the motherboard right after it first came out.
