Hi, I Just upgraded my Ram,
I had 2x 4GB ram before, i bought 2 more same modal ,
now i hv 4x 4gb Kingston

My Old ram was running on 800Mhz and XMP profile was On,
Now after i upgraded my ram, my old 2 rams are still running on 800,
but new rams are running on 667Mhz,
And also in CPU-Z Its even showing that part No are different,
here is my screenshot of cpu-z for all 4 sticks,

I tried changing System memory multiplier to 1600, but that didnt work,

is there smthing wrong here, and why is it showing diffrent part no,
 


Thanks, For now i'v returned those sticks,
But for future, yes i would like to know wat was the issue, only mislabled or smthing internal.
 


Hmmmm u returned it really fast
 
Well for CPUz to read the memory as totally different set and also the Bios also showing relating specifications with only those inserted is too much to be a coincidence possibly being something else. I'd still like to believe he did the right thing by returning them.

I'll be curious though for a 2nd opinion as well to clarify.
