There is an incident where a user put about 16GB's of ram on an Asus Rampage X48 motherboard where Intel's specification sheet clearly states that they support a maximum of 8GB's of ram. The only catch with that users system is that it operated at 1333MHz and wouldn't boot when set to anything one MHz higher.
Your motherboards specification page states that you can use DDR3 memory rated for 1333/1066MHz rated at 1.65v operation since it wasn't until Sandy Bridge came along where 1.5v kits became the standard. Mind you, if you're using a 32bit architecture for your OS then you should swap to a 64bit OS in order for Windows to recognize all of the available ram. The best coarse of action would be to source ram that checks out on your board makers memory QVL.

I've seen another H55 micro-atx mobo taking the bios update for 16gb ram at 2015... I can't understand why is it hardware limited. Also there are people at a H55 mobo chipset with 4 dims of ram (maximum ram size 16gb according to the site) and they have installed 32 gb of ram with 4x8gb sticks and iit works fine. If it is hardware limited can you explain to me why??
Well yours doesnt have 4 slots on it so you wont get 32 GB either. If yours is an ASUS
And it looks like there are other H55 mobos, that support up to 16 GB, but they've got 4 slots, not 2
The ASUS P7H55-M supports 16 GB but that's got 4 slots as well
Ask the manufacturer why
