Will this ram work on this motherboard?

Yes, it'll work, but what's the point? Even though the motherboard is capable of supporting up to 16GB of ram, that board can only use non-hyper threaded quad core processors, meaning 4 instruction/data threads max, so even if you ran intense apps such as trans-coding, AutoCAD, PhotoShop, etc., simultaneously you would likely never use more than 5GB~8GB. If you were using a server motherboard, that would be a different story, but in real world use 6GB is usually more than enough memory for a desktop system.
