SPD has been supported in DRAM going back to DDR and DDR2, DDR3 is where XMP came into play and is for DRAM that runs 1600 and up. Your mobo is an 1156 that is made by Intel which supports 1066/1333 DRAM so unless they updated the BIOS to encompass XMP it may well have no XMP available. Further, these mobos were designed to run with the then current DRAM specs which used low density memory ICs (chips). Current DDR3 is made with high density memory ICs so the Vengeance may well not even be compatible unless it is an older model. If they don't run at all (highly possible) would look for the original GSkill Ripjaws (not the newer X or Z lines, the plain old Ripjaws) or their NT series of value DRAM, both of which are made with the low density memory ICs
