Having a bit of trouble telling EXACTLY what kind of memory I have

[BadContrakt]

Ok. I have screenshots so this should be EASY for you pros. This is what I know...

I have Kingston HyperX ram. The case says BLU on it so I assume it's HyperX Blu HOWEVER my computer is showing that I indeed have 8gigs(2x4gig) of memory and when I try to build my rig on PCPartPicker it doesn't even show that they MAKE HyperX Blu in 4 gig sticks @ 1600mhz which is what I THOUGHT I had. I am fearing that I actually have 1333mhz or maybe even lower than that!

When looking at my rig and what's currently in it I am fearing that what's inside my computer is different from what I ordered. I THOUGHT that I had 1600mhz (2x4gig) sticks but according to the name BLU, the fact that PCPartPicker doesn't show that they exist, and what CPU-Z is telling me, I am fearing that what I bought and what is in my rig are two different sticks.

So here they are:

The sticks that I ORDERED and will be soon entering my PC are these: KHX1600C9D which is Kingston HyperX (2x4gig)(@1600mhz)

What is IN MY RIG now I think are Kingston HyperX BLU sticks and the speeds will be up to you to decipher.

behold the power of google...

that's the specs for the single stick the 4GX is for two sticks, In the specs it says that if you run the ram at 1.5v is a cas11 but if you up the volts to 1.65 it will run at cas9.

Your running 2x4gb 1600mhz @cas11 right now since its at 1.5volts. Blu only refers to the color of the heat sink on the ram.

Google is indeed a good tool. A very large, very specific tool sometimes. So the sticks I have coming in the mail are absolutely perfect to go in with my current sticks. in short?

Thanks for checking this out for me!
