Memory setting issues after adding another pair of sticks

So I upgraded my 2GBx2 gskill f3-12800CL9D-4GBRL with another set with the same part number.

However, CPU-Z is reporting that one pair of memory is running at 800mhz while the other is running at 667mhz. When I first bought my memory I manually set my timming to 9-9-9-24 which it is still set at and CPU-Z is also showing. So, is this "normal" or do I have something set wrong? I've googled over the last hour to no avail.

Also, while CPU-Z, Task Manager, my Bios, as well as AMD OverDrive report my memory as 8gb, when I go to control panel ---- System it says:

12gb (8gb usable)

Does gskill lock their sticks now? Is there a way to unlock it?


My MB is an older Asus m4A79XTD EVO and I have verified I have the latest bios installed.

Thank you

What does CPU-Z show in the memory tab - that's what all the sticks are running at if 667 then they are at 1333 else 800 equates to 1600 as this is DDR (DOUBLE data rate)

First off, thank you for your response Tradesman1

Sadly, the suggestions did not correct the problem.

First, I uninstalled all my RAM. I then placed the new RAM in the appropriate slot. I booted it up and the memory ran at 800MHz. I then installed the older memory that, prior, was running at 800MHz (of course I turned the computer, disconnected the power, and all that basic jazz). Booted it back up and the new memory was still running at 800MHz, but the second pair went back down to 667MHz.

Then I rebooted and tried to increase my volts to no avail (I have since re-set back to their old values). Here is some info from CPU-Z:
