The title says it all . is it compatibile ?

It's not on the QVL (http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Pro3%20R2.0/index.asp?cat=Memory) but there are other 1600C9 RAM kits, it should work.

That would depend on the CPU you are using. The memory controller is in the CPU.

The CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9 is a single module. Are you using one module?

I'm using a FX-6300

FX-6300 can run 1866MHz with one DIMM per channel and 1600MHz with two DIMMs per channel. The motherboard is a dual channel motherboard.

The motherboard doesn't have XMP settings for memory. I couldn't tell you what using OVERCLOCK Mode does.
You would probably need to set these manually or the memory would run at more conservative SPD (Serial Presence Detect) settings.
DRAM Timing Configuration
DRAM Frequency

You would set the DRAM Frequency to DDR3-1600MHz or X8.00.
The Dram Timing are 9-9-9-24. The DRAM Timing Control needs to be set to [Manual]. Set the first four number beginning with Cas Latency.

Using more than one stick of CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9 is not guaranteed to work so all bets are off if you are using multiple modules.
