Might want to check the range of voltage for your 790. When your mobo came out, FRAM generally ran at higher voltages prior to the release of the i7 CPUs. Since the i5s and i7s, voltages in DRAM have been dropping. If it supports the lower voltage, it should be fine, with these sticks you probably don't want to feed more than 1.6 to them.

Should be no problem, but for DDR3-1600, you need to overclock your CPU FSB to 1600MHz.

Thank you
