Ram Question..What would you do?

[boonani]

Last night I went to micro center and bought Vista Upgrade 4GB PC-6400 DDR2 Memory Kit (Two 2GB DDR2 800 Memory Modules). I know you have to manually set the timings and voltage up to 2.0 to reach ddr2 800 speeds and I did that on my DS3-R.

I changed the voltage and timings accordingly and to verify I checked it in Everest Ultimate edition and CPU-Z. Under memory the timings and frequency read correctly, but in both programs under speed they note each stick being different. One is noted to be ddr2-667 and the other ddr2-800. Is this normal? Why would one be noted as ddr2-800 and the other ddr2-667? Should I go back and swap memory?

Note: I OC my q6600 to 3.2 stable prime95 overnight with 8x400 in bios.

Thanks!

If one is being identified as rated for 667Mhz then I would probably take it back as it should be identified as rated for 800mhz - if that is what you purchased. Do the chips look identical, though it would appear they have heatspreaders on so it may be hard to tell?

if it works, i wouldn't worry about it. the stickers on both sticks indicate the same model, right?

I just heard back from OCZ and they saying it just a comsmetic error. Since in memory it states it running at 400 and two sticks can't run at two different speeds. Going to get annoying seeing that.

just don't look?
