I brought some ram just a couple days ago to finish building a computer for someone, Specs....

Core 2 Duo E8400, Asus P5K-E, 2GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800, POV Geforce 9600GT, 600w Enermax Noisetaker 2.

Anyway on with the problem, I’ve been trying all day to get this thing stable at 4GHz I managed to get it stable at 3.6Ghz Without changing the voltage but for 4Ghz I needed to give it 1.4V after I did that I Ran Prime95 on Small FFTs for over an hour and I had no problems but after playing HL2 for 5 minutes it crashed! I then new it couldn’t be the processor and had to be somthing like the RAM, NB or FSB voltage, I tweaked the NB voltage which didn’t help so I then turned to the RAM voltage for a moment I thought I had it since the game lasted a lot longer but then... crash, after all his I then noticed in EVEREST that the memory wasn’t what it should be it showed as this......

This puzzled me as the ram was meant to be identical I checked my PC which has the exact same RAM in and that showed up as I expected.......

This ram is meant to be the same!!!!

Should I request RMA or is this nothing to worry about?
 
well youve got faster ram than you ordered it seems, so find out what settings you need for it and be happy :)

Its an odd pair though? Wont that hinder performance?
 
U can 2nd guess everest by trying cpu-z.

They installed as dual channel 128bit ?

The other thing I might be werey of is if the memory is oc`d, the eprom of the memory could be read wrong/corrupted if it`s too far.
