I recently bought some memory that was "tested" at 1600MHz but actually has an SPD of 1333MHz and must be tweaked either manually or by XMP to run at the advertised speed.
Is this normal, or did I get "duped" into buy slower RAM?
For reference, this was the Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 8GB (4GB x 2) on newegg.com.
Many users said they had to enable XMP to get the advertised speed of 1600MHz. Is this a nomral thing to have to do with RAM or should I try to buy 1600MHz SPD?
