I have an Asus Striker II NSE motherboard running a Quad Core Q9450
processor. I put 4gig Kingston DDR3 1066 in it and had no issues with it.
I installed 2 DDR 3 1300Mhz 1 gig modules and it says they are running @
1300 MHZ. I purchased 4-GIG (2 2-gig)Corsair 1600 Mhz modules and it shows
them running at 1067Mhz. Now I know it won't go any faster than the CPU
speed ( 1300 Mhz in this case), but why doesn't it run at 1300 Mhz?

Not really liking this Asus board, I purchased a Intel DX48BT2 motherboard
and while trying to set the memory to what it shows on the sticker, the
voltage and the timing it won't boot. I am back running the original
1067Mhz Kingston memory.

I am not sure if this memory is defective or not. I noticed while in the
bios on this Intel board it saw the memory @1600 MHZ, but the timings are
not what it says on the sticker. I don't know who to believe, the sticker
or the bios.

Appreciate any ideas.

Thanks

The bios would state the memory description that it is reading from the
slot it has been placed. I could be an issue with the memory. I have a
memory stick in the BIOS it would show as 1gb but the sticker states as
512mb. I would advise you to download CPUZ software & check. What is the
speed the memory is running on.
