Are these products properly compatible? I am currently run 8 gigs of this RAM on this motherboard but am coming across high memory usage and lag using minimal tasks such as firefox. I use this PC for gaming and have come across some severe issues recently with my frames dropping. I have narrowed it down to the Memory holding things up. Not sure if buying more of this same RAM is the right thing to do or if I should go with a different RAM set, or if its a technical issue that can be solved. I tried updating the bios I am currently running Version F7(was using F4 before that).

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. :)

The rated specifications of any memory is guaranteed to be obtainable only in the kit it is sold in. If you are adding an additional set of memory, the rated timings may not work due to the extra stress on the memory controller. Therefore, you will need to relax the timings and/or frequencies in order to...

The rated specifications of any memory is guaranteed to be obtainable only in the kit it is sold in. If you are adding an additional set of memory, the rated timings may not work due to the extra stress on the memory controller. Therefore, you will need to relax the timings and/or frequencies in order to get 2 sets of memory to work. Another option you may need to do is increase the dram voltages or reducing the CPU multiplier.
