The RAM clock speed is too high for the motherboard you are using. Buy RAM that is clocked at 1333MHz not 1600MHz. There is a chance that the 1600MHz might work in the 1333MHz board but it is a hit and a miss and depends on the board. If you want it to 100% work then buy 1333MHz RAM.

here is a review about this motherboard form newegg:
-------------------------------
Pros: I bought these on when on sale so they where cheaper than the 1333 model. My motherboard is an Asus p8h61-M so it only supports 1066 and 1333 speed. With this ram, i was able to get the timings stable at 1066 and cas latency of 6-6-6-19. This is almost identical to the stock timings.
speed is (cas latency/Mhz) so
9/1600=0.005625
6/1066=0.005628
It run's beautiful and also dropped my BF3 load times from 2 minutes to about 45 seconds. (Going from 4GB 9-9-9-24 1333Mhz) to this.
Cons: Nothing yet, Only have had a month if anything goes wrong i will edit.
Other Thoughts: As of right now, would buy this again and again and again.
-------------------------------
i'm not pretty sure about this...
is their any users tested this ram on this motherboard?

Is this your board ?

If your particular board is a different variation, and is limited to 1066 or 1333, no worries. When RAM is advertised at 1600, that, as the package and specs say is the XMP profile. The memory SPD will have other profiles pre-loaded. These include:
You can select the XMP or JEDEC profile in the BIOS:
Picking JEDEC # 6 will run the ram at 2 x 800 or 1600
Picking JEDEC # 4 will run the ram at 2 x 685 or 1370
Picking JEDEC # 3 will run the ram at 2 x 609 or 1218
Picking JEDEC # 2 will run the ram at 2 x 533 or 1066
So if the board can handle only 1066, just pick JEDEC 2

Then the Motherboard can handle any of those speeds listed ....

As per the two quotes above, it runs at
2200(O.C.)
2133(O.C.) ... runs at 2000
2000(O.C.)
1866(O.C.) ... runs at 1800
1600
1333
1066
IIRC, the G630 is a 2nd generation CPU .... you need 3rd generation to go at 1600 and above
The initial spec for the G630 lists 1066. But looking at the image here:
That's a G630 and it's giving higher options.
Here's the RAM, the 1866 stuff
2200(O.C.)
2133(O.C.) ... runs at 2000

Again...
MoBo supports up to 2200
CPU apparently supports up to 2 x 761 = 1522 (see 1st image above)
JEDEC #4 on the RAM says it can run at 2 x 685 = 1370 (see 2nd image above)
I have seen folks on Win 7 running 1600 on that CPU
As long as you don't exceed those numbers, you can pick any speed the BIOS offers you.
