Is 1866 RAM fast enough for OC?

I'm interested in OC my 3570k to maybe 4.5, and don't know about the required RAM speed, without OC the RAM too. Using Corsair Vengeance and an Asus P8Z77-v-pro MB. If this isn't fast enough then what RAM speed would be needed? Thanks.
 
You dont need any fancy memory. OC is handled only by the multiplier. And the uarch doesnt benefit much at all from faster memory. So DDR3-1600 is more than enough. But if 1866 cost the same, then get it. Just make sure memory is 1.35 or 1.5V. And not 1.6 or 1.65V.
