New memory not working

Hi,

 

I recently purchased the Corsair CMY16GX3M2A1600C9R Vengeance Pro RAM to upgrade my PC as I thought it would be compatible, but my motherboard isn't recognising it.

 

Could anyone advise as to whether the RAM would work for me? The only thing I've noticed is that my current RAM is 1.35V and this is 1.5V (which is down to the Amazon product listing both!).

 

Here's my system information:
