Its not on the QVL list. Since other kits with SK Hynix are, it may be okay. I have/had mixed results with 6600 MT/s on 4-slot MBs. Some just need some BIOS TLC, other just refuse to boot no matter what. 6400 MT/ is a more safer bet (and cheaper too).
Either way, make sure you are on the latest BIOS.
