i was browsing ocuk for ram when i came across these http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-050-GS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1516
but the thing is a few months ago i bought a set of them at 1600mhz from ocuk, which were identical, same timings, voltages and all and also when i put them in my board they are seen as 1333mhz and i have to manually set them to 1600mhz and i originaly paid around £80 for these

my question is are these exactly the same and i was sold them as 1600mhz and they are not, and if i were to buy some of these could i just stick them in an set them to 1600mhz from 1333mhz and it would be all hunky dorey and work fine?
 
RAM is speed binned, they might work at 1600Mhz but they are guaranteed to work at 1333Mhz.

I just cant get over how cheap DDR3 is at the moment :)
