I recently just bought a Kingston HyperX FURY 8GB 1866MHz DDR3, a second one to match my other one.
I was using one of that stick plus I had a pair of G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600. This was giving me 12 GB of RAM, one stick being 4GB and the other being 8GB.
CPU-Z says I have 24 GB, like I should with all 4 of these sticks plugged in. But task manager (and BIOS) says otherwise. In CPU-Z it says that the two 8GB sticks are using 888 MHz and the 4GB ones are using 800MHz.
My Motherboard is an ASUS P8Z77-V LK, BIOS is up to date.
I read that RAM can underclock itself if its MHz are more than what the mobo asks for? Shouldn't all of this be working then? Or will I have to return these and buy 1600 MHz sticks?
Edit: CPU-Z says that I only have dual channel up, instead of quad? But it's bizarre because it's selecting one of the 4gb and one of the 8gb, creating 12, rather than picking 4/4 or 8/8?
