I have just installed 4 gig of Kingston KHX8500AD2K2/4G into my system that already had 2 gigs of Crucial 8500, so all in all I now have 6 gigs of RAM. I have just taken a snapshot from Everest and it looks like the new Kingston is not running at the same speed as the Crucial. How do I improve these speeds so that they run the same?

Motherboard:
CPU Type QuadCore Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450, 2666 MHz (8 x 333)
Motherboard Name Gigabyte GA-EX38-DQ6 (2 PCI, 3 PCI-E x1, 2 PCI-E x16, 4 DDR2 DIMM, Audio, Dual Gigabit LAN, IEEE-1394)
Motherboard Chipset Intel Beachwood X38
System Memory 6144 MB (DDR2-800 DDR2 SDRAM)
DIMM1: Crucial 1 GB DDR2-800 DDR2 SDRAM (5-5-5-18 @ 400 MHz) (4-5-5-15 @ 333 MHz) (3-4-4-12 @ 266 MHz)
DIMM2: Kingston 2G-UDIMM 2 GB DDR2-800 DDR2 SDRAM (5-5-5-18 @ 400 MHz) (4-4-4-12 @ 266 MHz) (3-3-3-9 @ 200 MHz)
DIMM3: Crucial 1 GB DDR2-800 DDR2 SDRAM (5-5-5-18 @ 400 MHz) (4-5-5-15 @ 333 MHz) (3-4-4-12 @ 266 MHz)
DIMM4: Kingston 2G-UDIMM 2 GB DDR2-800 DDR2 SDRAM (5-5-5-18 @ 400 MHz) (4-4-4-12 @ 266 MHz) (3-3-3-9 @ 200 MHz)
BIOS Type Award Modular (07/17/08)
Communication Port Communications Port (COM1)
Communication Port Printer Port (LPT1)
 
You mean they don't run the same speed? Or they don't run at the speed it should be?

They are both 1066mhz ram but they are running at 800mhz? Am i reading it correctly?
If so, try change the ram divider.
 
becuse your running 2 diffrent branded memory.

the SPD on the modules are set to there own frequencys.
so in everest it will always report those diffrent readings becuse its getting its info directly from the SPD chip on the modules.

Just make sure the timeings are all the same in the bios. ;)
 
Thanks for the replies. I have set the timings to 5-5-5-15 in the bios which I believe is correct as per the manufactures specs.
