You plan to just run XMP or do you plan to overclock them too? Reason I ask is that the HOF sticks seem to be proven to have a fair bit of room left if you are willing to push voltages, where in my experience with TridentZ, the higher they are binned, the less likely that they have much left to give. Also keep in mind that at 4000Mhz you are at the upper mark for compatibility, and it will depend more on the CPU IMC as to whether or not the sticks will run at that speed.

Otherwise I say buy whatever and hope for the best!
