Will different RAM stick harm my motherboard?

[TheGuineaPigLover]

Hello,
I was wondering if I could just put the other two RAM stick in my motherboard. I think it will not be as fast as the two in there but I am trying to go for capacity.I am just worried if it will harm my motherboard or if its even compatible?


Motherboard- https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/MAXIMUS_VI_FORMULA/specifications/
RAM I want to install - 8Gb RAM Samsung 2 x 4GB 2Rx4 PC2-5300F-555-11-E0
RAM already in the system LINK

That wont work, the ram you listed is PC2 (DDR2), that boards needs PC3 (DDR3)

If it is this RAM: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SAMSUNG-8GB-2-x-4GB-PC2-5300F-555-11-E0-FB-Server-RAM-M395T5160QZ4-CE66-/152481651354?hash=item23809d5a9a%3Ag%3AUIcAAOSwzgBY0nUi
then answer is - no, it will not even fit into your motherboard.
