Answer 1

Yes, the RAM is compatible with your motherboard. Why don't you try just putting one stick of RAM in and see if it will boot?

This board allows for overclocking with its many featured BIOS.

Answer 2

Yes that ram should be compatible with that mother board. Do you have the 3 chips in the blue slots in order for the memory to function correctly it needs to be in the right slot. Some memory conflicts are the memory chips themselves try switching their order around or taking one out at a time maybe one of them is bad. But if you have to run 2 chips you gotta use the blue slots closest to the cpu. Hope this helps!

Answer 3

in accordance to the specs for the motherboard, it takes those style of RAM modules: DDR3 2000(O.C)/1866(O.C)/1800(O.C)/1600(O.C)/... Whoever informed you approximately overclocking and RAM does not understand what they're conversing approximately.
