Check with the motherboard manufacturer, but probably not. MSI only JUST announced a new gaming series of motherboards with 3000 Mhz RAM support. I doubt your board has that support.
Thanks for the info not that i was going to buy any and try because i dont need 3Ghz ram but I just wanted to know.

Mostly only Z77 motherboards support it if I'm not mistaken. Even my mini-ITX Asus P8Z77-I support that RAM.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

From what I remember when I was shopping for my z77 build the ivy bridge chips don't see any tangible benefit from ram speeds over 1866. so unless you're doing ridiculous benchmarking, then I really wouldn't bother spending that kind of money on memory.

I might work' date=' but it's geared towards water coolers. It will be VERY hot on air.[/quote']

Actually ddr3 ram runs pretty cool... heatspreaders probably aren't even needed on lower frequency ram. My 1866mhz ram barely gets warm

And I think lots of boards actually support 3000mhz.. I think mine does
