OK, this has been brought up many times here. I have searched, and invariably the final solution is that this is not a G.Skill issue, but a MB issue.
I disagree. I have 2x4gb sticks of F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL. But it only shows up in various programs as having a max of 667mhz or PC3-10700. No changes such as VTT and memory voltage changes this. This appears to be where most people buy into the motherboard has an issue answer.
However, I recently purchased 16gb (4x4) of F3-12800CL9Q-16GBRL and it shows up as PC3-12800H (800mhz) max bandwidth. So this is NOT an motherboard issue. The 667mhz max follows the other sticks where ever I install them. It does not matter if just the 2 sticks are installed or all 6 sticks are installed. If all 6 sticks are installed, the 2 'D' sticks always show a max of 667mhz regardless of the slot while the other sticks show up as 800mhz max as it should.
So do I need to RMA these 2 sticks to get them to work as it states on the label, or is there another solution?
