Yes, the memory is compatible. It will work. QVL is not the final list of compatible memory, they are just the modules which are tested but there are lot of many memory modules available on the market and it is impossible to test all of 'em. So basically any memory which meets specification should do fine.

If you need other brand memory then try here (click on "here")

Max is 32GB. No of slot - 4 and max per slot is 8GB.
Good luck with the upgrade.
You want documented ram compatibility. If you should ever have a problem, you want supported ram.
Otherwise, you risk a finger pointing battle between the ram and motherboard support sites, claiming "not my problem".
One place to check is your motherboards web site.
Look for the ram QVL list. It lists all of the ram kits that have been tested with that particular motherboard.
Sometimes the QVL list is not updated after the motherboard is released.
For more current info, go to a ram vendor's web site and access their ram selection configurator.
Enter your motherboard, and you will get a list of compatible ram kits.
While today's motherboards are more tolerant of different ram, it makes sense to buy ram that is known to work and is supported.
