I just got a used Dell Optiplex 9010 with an i5 3rd Gen CPU. As it only came with 4GB of memory, I purchased the F3-1600C9D-16GAB kit to replace this with.
While the G.Skill memory works, it will only run at 1333MHz with either one or both sticks installed. Meanwhile, the 4GB from Dell is 1600MHz and is detected as such.
This is very likely a Dell problem, but I see that much of the DDR3 products here which are marketed with speeds greater than the JEDEC standards (like 2133MHz and 2400MHz) are listed as having an SPD speed of only 1333MHz. I just wanted to confirm that the part I ordered does in fact have a 1600MHz SPD value. Sadly there is no way to adjust memory speed or timings in this BIOS so in that case it appears I'm stuck...
