Yes they are triple channel ram and they will work. But should get two sticks of ram at 8gbs.

That memory is sold that way for Mb that can support 3 sticks of memory or even 6 sticks of memory

Your board supports 2 or 4 sticks of memory. So you should be looking at a dual or quad kits.

Thanks for your quick reply sir, I'm confused a bit would you please let me know in details. what i understood is if i am using 2GB for 2000MHZ then i will need 3 sticks? like 2GB x 3? or 2GB x 2? and if i am using 4GB then 4GB X 2?

Right?

Some of the boards run dual data memory that would is 2 sticks. These boards have from 2 slots to 4 slots for memory.

Some of the boards run triple data memory and that is 3 sticks. Most of theses boards have have 6 slots for memory.

Some of the boards run quad data memory and that is 4 sticks. These boards have from 4 slots to 8 slots for memory.

On your board you run dual data memory so that would be 2 sticks. You board has 4 slots for memory. Yes you can run 1, 2, 3, or 4 sticks of memory.

For the best performance you should run 2 sticks or 4 sticks and not 3 sticks. Always keep you memory in pairs and plus all the same too.

Yes the 3 sticks will run but you will better off running 2 or 4 sticks of memory.

So if you want to have 4 gbs of memory you should buy it as 2 sticks of memory being 2 gbs ea = 4 gbs.

If you want 8 gbs you can buy 2 sticks 4 gbs ea  = 8 gbs or 4 sticks at 2 gbs ea = 8 gbs.

If you want 16 gbs you can buy 2 sticks 8 gbs ea  = 16 gbs or 4 sticks at 4 gbs ea = 16 gbs.
