memory for motherboard p8z77-v pro

I just bought 16gigs of memory, (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104340) Kingston Technology HyperX Red 16GB Kit (2x8GB) 1600MHz 10-10-10 1.5V DDR3 PC3-12800 Non-ECC DIMM XMP Motherboard Memory KHX16C10B1RK2/16X . Will this work with my new motherboard p8z77-v pro?

According to the spec, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131819, it takes DDR3 1600MHZ. But I went to the Asus website at http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1155/P8Z77-V_PRO/P8Z77-V-PRO-memory-QVL.pdf, I don't see my memory listed in the qualified vendor.

I see that there is MEMok switch on the motherboard. Is that for when the memory does not work in 1600? Sorry I am just a beginner in building PC. Thanks

Also, how do you know that the memory is not in 1600 when I install them on the motherboard.

Also, I don't see OC next to 1600 under the description of the motherboard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131819). Does it mean that I cannot do Over Clocking with my type of memory.
