I have an HP system, HP Pavilion Slimline S5710T
CPU: Intel Pentium E5800
Motherboard: H-IG41-uATX
Memory: 10600 1333Mhz (Downclocked to 800Mhz) (2x1gb 1x1gb sticks)
I went online, bought some 1333 MHz ram 1.5v (10666), it worked with the E5800 down-clocked. Then I purchased a used Intel Intel® Core2 Quad Q9550 and started getting problems. I knew the processor was compatible with my motherboard. However, I discovered I could only use 10600. So I bought some 1333 MHz ram 1.5v (10600), still didn't work! Besides that small difference of 10666/10600, this 10600 is CL 8-8-8-21 and the 10666 is CL 9-9-9-24. I started researching some more and found only ONE post from the entire internet mentioning this motherboard must have CL of 9-9-9-24 ram installed. Is there a reason why it must be that specific ram? I installed my old 10600 ram (doesn't say 1333 MHz on it, in fact it doesn't say any MHz on it), works just fine. Speccy and CPU-Z shows CL of 7-7-7-20.
My other inquiry... The motherboard supports up to 1333 MHz. My Q9550 shows Rated FSB 1333, the Bus Speed shows 333... These old 10600 sticks of ram should be 1333 MHz(I assume because it's 10600), so why aren't these sticks running at 1333 MHz? They're currently running at 1066.
((EDIT: I'm still researching and... looking up this chipset it says it supports DDR3 800/1066, is this why it's showing 1066 MHz on my old sticks? And because of this, I cannot buy ram from G.skill or other manufactures other than HP/Samsung/some-other-odd-brand memory sticks?? I'm so confused lol))
This is the old Memory (APPARENTLY COMPATIBLE)

This Memory I obtained from a friend, even says HP. (DOESN'T WORK)
