Hey There,
Yesterday I added another kit of G Skill F3-12800CL7D-8GBXH to the same existing 8 gigs I've had in my Asus p8p67 Deluxe since January of this year. I had noticed then CPUZ reported the max bandwidth speed of only PC3-10700 (667 MHz), but because the XMP profile showed up as dual channel 1600 MHz I assumed it must be a CPUZ error because everything worked great. Now with the newly installed ram in slots 1 and 3 CPUZ reports those sticks at PC3-12800 (800 MHz) but slots 2 and 4 are still PC3-10700 (667 MHz). Memtest 86 and Aida 64 both show the same kind of thing but they bench well (I think?) no errors anyway. I've googled this and found others have had the same issue but there doesn't seem to be an explanation for this. All I've read is to rma them as it might be just a programming error. Any ideas about this? Should I rma or leave well enough alone? Things are faster since the upgrade.
Thanks
