I was wondering if it would be OK to use DDR3 3000 memory with Asus Maximus VI Impact MotherBoard, Intel® Core™ i3-4130T Processor and Steamcom's FC8 case

The purpose of this machine is for a HTPC (Home Theater Personal Computer) system, only, no gaming. The case is fan less as is the CPU cooling system. Also, would it be worth it, heat wise, to go past the 1600 memory type? I mean, would DDR 3000 make the box that much faster to make it worthwhile?

The Processor has a TDP rating of 35 W. The memory specifications for the processor are:

Memory Specifications
Max Memory Size (dependent on memory type)  32 GB
Memory Types    DDR3-1333/1600
# of Memory Channels    2
Max Memory Bandwidth    25.6 GB/s
ECC Memory Supported ‡  Yes

The FC8 case's heat displacement system is rated at 95 W TDP
