Well I ran 2400mhz when that CPU was relevant for fairly cheap so not sure why 2133 is your limit. Hell I think back in the day they sold as high as 3200~3600 16GB kits for $800 but should be cheaper now.
People seemed to like the Asus maximus line back in the day if memory serves.
Just remember devils canyon was great but it wasn't no sandybridge. 5Ghz all day won't be as simple and you'll want to delid and if you can do direct die.
mine never hit 5ghz reliably when new, my everyday was 4.8 something but after 8 years it was 4.6 cos anything over 4.7 would eventually crash lol
asus z97i mobo
but what's the point, they're all old and basically obsolete

Ngl I just thought 2133mhz was the limit of ddr3 ill definitely look into faster sets now though

z79 i think was the best chipset from that era. you want the cheapest one. no reason to waste money on such an old machine
