Fake memory modules?

I already have 2 GB of DDR3 TWIN3X2048-1333C9DHX. I wanted to add two more modules (2x1GB), exactly the same 1333C9DHX kit. However, unlike my two existing modules they refuse to function at their best speed (1333Mhz) and the bios auto detects an appropriate speed to 1066Mhz (i tried to swap all modules). By using Cpu-Z and Everest Ultimate, i see that these modules are not 1333C9DHX but 1066C7 planned to operate at 1066Mhz! Yet there are no visual differences, and they have the DHX kit !!! All corsair stickers says "1333C9DHX" but it's not true!
