That is because you are running at stock speed. You have to overclock to reach that speed, otherwise, stock is it.

There is no way one set of dimms are running at different speeds or timings than another on same system.

Most PC3500, PC3700, and PC4000 is labled "PC3200" in SPD simply to provide the best compatability with the BIOS of various motherboards. In other words, it's PC3500 in PC3200 clothing, as far as the system is concerned.

Kingston has changed the chips it's using to make the newer HyperX. You won't get the same chips as your original set, hence the SPD could well be different too. Most DDR-400 and up all shows up as PC3200 anyway in the ID column. Bump thy voltage to 2.8v Vdimm on thine MSI board and fret no more!
