groundchuckles Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 hey there, i just got a 12g kit: cmd12gx3m6a1600c8 for some reason in cpu-z and memtest86 2 of the 6 sticks are being reported as cm3x2g1866c9d... the other sticks are reporting correctly. i switched them around to different slots thinking maybe it was a mobo issue. didn't fix it. attaching screenshots of cpu-z for each slot. missing slot 6 because the forum wont let me upload more than 5 files. the problem sticks are in slots 3 and 5. is this something i need to worry about? thanks!

Wired Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 No, just incorrect SPD label. You can RMA them if you'd like, but the memory when set manually in the BIOS will run as intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundchuckles Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 so, even though 2 of the sticks were mislabeled, you think they're actually the same part? it's supposed to be a "matching set". does this have any relevance to that? i mean i'd presume that if 2 of the six sticks were labeled differently, they'd have to be from different batches or something... does it matter? i haven't manually setup memory in the BIOS before. any tips? i ran into a post on another forum that mentioned a SPD flashing utility... would it be worth using such a thing to correct the mislabeling? i'd rather not have to RMA the set as it's the only RAM i have at the moment, so i'd be computerless till i got the replacement...

Wired Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 DO NOT FLASH THE SPD. This will VOID the warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundchuckles Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 ok. i wont. what about the other stuff? any tips on what settings should be implemented in the BIOS so that the mislabeled sticks act correctly? the issue of it being a "matching set"?
