The "theory" is that fully enabled 10900Ks should be able to sustain stable mem clocks 100-200MHz above 9900Ks. It doesn't say anything about what lower binned i7s and i5s can do.
I don't doubt that you'll be able to do 4000-4400 with a good B-die kit, but to come right out of the gates with a 4500 XMP is a little...living on the edge, I suppose.
Any 3600/16-16-16 kit and tighter should be reasonable quality B-die and be ready to go for frequencies to 4000 and beyond. As always, no guarantees.
From what I hear, good Rev.E overclocks like a champ, but being 16-18-18 or 16-19-19 also introduces other ICs like Hynix that aren't quite such a champ on raw freq overclocking for Intel.
Honestly, if you're not interested in memory overclocking, stick to 3600/16.
Yeah all this makes me want to try the 4500/18 actually. I'll be trying to get all cores at 5.1+ anyway so playing with the ram should be easy enough. If 4500/18 doesn't work maybe the same kit at 4000/16-17 does, if not, 3600/16 almost for sure would I would think...
