If you look up your motherboard on Gigabyte support page it will have a listing of official compatible RAM parts. In general, a good quality motherboard will be able to run almost any RAM, the RAM will just drop in speed to match the motherboard specs.

they say that my mobo H61M-S2P only support for DDR3 2200(OC)/1333/1066/800 MHz

if i have 8gb ddr3 pc12800 1600Mhz, can it be placed on my mobo?

here's my pc specs:
intel i5-3330 3.0ghz
mobo gigabyte h61m-s2p

I am not talking about the general spec listing for the motherboard, if you go to the support site it will have a document with a list of known good RAM to use with it. Or get one from Crucial, they a have a good compatibility search on the site and any RAM that it shows as being for your motherboard would be guaranteed to work.

Here is the link to download the Memory Support List. While it does list some PC3-12800 (DDR3-1600), the motherboard automatically downclocks it to DDR3-1333.

so, it won't be a problem if i use ram PC3-12800 (DDR3-1600)? because the gigabyte says my mobo only support for PC3-10600 (DDR3-1333)

 

[Wolfshadw]

The Memory Support List only shows RAM modules that have actually been tested and verified compatible. If the RAM module you have isn't on that list, then best guess would be that it's ok and will run at DDR3-1333, but it is not a guarantee.

no problem for me if it just run at ddr3-1333, so it won't be causing any problem to the whole pc? i'm just afraid it will break my other pc part..
sorry for my bad english..

It it works, it should not cause any issues with any other component in your system.
