Dell Optiplex 7010 Memory question

Hi all,

I need help with choosing some memory for my optiplex 7010 (the MT version, I7-3770 processor). Here's my concern:

After heavy research i've found that although all technical documentation states the 7010 can only go to 16 gig, I know that i you can in fact go to 32 gig with 4 8gig sticks (i'm not gaming, I do CAD work and need the memory).

I also know that I need to get 1600 ddr3 memory, and I know max voltage on the dell mb is 1.5v

SO, that being said, here's my concern:

I know with OEM mobo's we do not get the luxury of having a lot of tweaking capabilities in the Bios. A lot of "high end memory" requires either manual setting OR enabling XMP/DOCP/EOCP in BIOS/EFI...

So that being said, do you all have a good recommendation on the best ram sticks I can buy, but would still both post as 1600 without the need for XMP/etc AND be fast?

Here's a short-list on Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007611%20600006050%20600006127%20600083963&IsNodeId=1&name=32GB%20%284%20x%208GB%29

Let me know, I'd like to purchase today!!!

Thanks!
