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.

Try to set your RAM to 1600, they should work fine. Just because they are rated at 1866 does not mean they have to run at this speed, they should run at 1600 also, hope this helps..

The sticks you have should be fine, manually set them to 1600 9-9-9-24 1.5 and should work fine if you don't want to go through RMA/exchange

Go into your BIOS and to the memory settings page. The settings that Tradesman1 has given you are a real good place to start, those should make them functional.
