it is possible to use this sticks togheter?
there is also a different verion between this 5 sticks v4.2- v3.1

Solution
Give them a try, put the higher voltage stick closest to the CPU and see if you can boot into BIOS, check what voltage the DRAM is at, then go and run them in Win, if any problems set them manually to 1.9
