RAM/ Mobo issue? Need to know if compatible

RAM: Muskin Redline 6 GB-3x2 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...)- DDR3 1600

New motherboard: Asus Rampage III Formula (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...), however DDR3 1600 O.C.

Backstory: My SATA ports went out on my Gigabyte UD3R. I decided to purchase this new motherboard, and I received my first one in the mail. I went for the install, and I did not post. When I booted up the system, the heatsink fan would just twitch every 2-3 seconds. No mobo LEDS or anything.

I went through all the steps of troubleshooting, but I heard 0 beep codes, could find nothing shorting my mobo, etc. I decided to RMA with NewEgg.

I received my replacement Rampage III Formula. I installed, and I had the same problem. I decided it might be that I had screwed up a piece of my equipment. I decided to reinstall my Gigabyte UD3R (even though I could not boot from my HDD) and see if I would post. It posted on my first try.

I called Asus, and they requested me to build back up my Rampage III formula. I'm running low on Arctic Silver 5, and I need to RMA ASAP. I don't think I can wait for shipping a new container of Arctic Silver 5.

So my question is: does this sound like a memory/motherboard incompatibility problem? Mushkin no longer makes this memory, so they are not on the supported memory list in my Rampage III formula. However, there is a post on Newegg feedback on the memory ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...) where someone posted using my motherboard on first try.
