Yes it will! but it would be downclocked to 1066 or 1333, any way it will work with your mobo

I've heard that it's possible to run RAM at speeds over 1333 in this board but it may downclock to 1333 as posted above.

Memory Standard
DDR3 1333+ (O.C.)/1066

You want to buy ram modules in pairs so that the memory runs in dual channel mode.
