I was looking at the supported RAM page http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H97M%20Pro4/?cat=Memory" rel="nofollow - http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H97M%20Pro4/?cat=Memory for the ASRock H97M Pro4. My new build is going to have 2 x 8GB sticks of Crucial Ballistix DDR3 16000MHz RAM. Will this RAM still work even though it's not listed?

Try and check the RAM product page, often the RAM itself has a compatibility list for motherboards. Failing that you may want to check for RAM that the board does support.

Most likely it will work fine as the RAM you listed is pretty standard however I cannot say definitively that it will work. RAM can be tricky these days, especially with so many variants on the market, OC RAM with higher voltages, single and double sided not to mention capacity.

I did what Xaltar suggested, checked your memory (although your description is a bit vague) on Crucial's memory compatibility page, and Crucial claims the memory is compatible:

If that memory is not your identical model, find it on Crucial's site and use their compatibility checker.
