These kits are both rated at 2133 MHz.
So I come back to my original question, what difference will it make for overclocking/stability that you use all 8 memory slots as compared to using 4?
Remember that with SB-E you can overclock the memory independently from the cpu. I have my 3930k runing at 4.6 and my memory is a stock 1600. System is 100% stable. I wanted a 32GB kit but with option of upgrading to 64 later. Rather then spend 1500$ for 4x8@2133 I spent 300$ for 4x8@1600. The only real difference would be when benching. For games and typical apps you wouldn't really see a difference.
