Can I exceed my max ram limit?

[SMass620]

I have http://motherboards.specout.com/l/6236/GIGABYTE-GA-B85M-HD3-R4 motherboard, and 2x8GB cosiar ram. I was wondering if I could upgrade to

2x16GB ram?.

"The GIGABYTE GA-B85M-HD3 R4 has two RAM slots, which is 2 fewer than average. The RAM in these two slots may not exceed 16GB, even if more RAM sticks can physically fit." 

apparently not

I know, but what would happen if I did it??.

See if they have BIOS updates to allow more max memory.

So... It's a resounding maybe. It's rated for 2x8 sticks... But back in the P4 days mobos were rated for lower than they could realistically handle... It took a lot of fuckery.

That board only has support for DDR3.

Not necessarily, an updated or custom BIOS could allow you to use more than the original specified limit.

How many times do we have to tell you - No.

They do have 16GB DIMMs, but they have a very short compatibility list for processors and platforms.
