The (QVL) Qualified Vendor List shows examples of tested memory. It is not all inclusive.

The FX-8320 supports 1866MHz speed with two sticks and 1600MHz speed memory with all four memory slots filled. The memory you list is supported, in fact you can use 1866MHz memory if you want.

Just installing a couple sticks of memory without setting the Memory Frequency, DRAM Timings, and DRAM voltage will let the memory run at conservative (SPD) Serial Presence Detect settings. This would probably mean your 1600MHz memory would run at a slower 1333MHz speed.

With your motherboard the memory settings can be adjusted to run at the correct speed, timings and DRAM voltage automatically by simply enabling the (XMP) Extreme Memory Profile in the...

With your motherboard the memory settings can be adjusted to run at the correct speed, timings and DRAM voltage automatically by simply enabling the (XMP) Extreme Memory Profile in the BIOS. See page 18 of the downloadable motherboard manual. Set the XMP Profile to [Enabled] then Save changes & Exit the BIOS.
