Anybody have any experience with DDR3 1866mhz RAM in a X5020?

I have been offered a free pair of HyperX Fury DDR3 1866MHz(2x4GB 1866MHz (PC3-14900) DDR3 CL10), and was just wondering if it was worth putting it in. At the moment I have the standard 1333 Corsair modules.

On the wiki it says 1600mhz RAM but should'nt 1866mhz work but only at 1600?

I have exactly the same dimms (2x 4GB kit, HX318C10FWK2/8) in my X5020! Have used them 3 years (both AmiagOS and Linux), no issues... System Information (in U-Boot menu) gives them CL8 (have seen only CL9 for other dimms ;)).
