Have you manually set the speed, timings, and voltage for the new RAM in the BIOS? Can you post a screenshot of the "CPU", "Memory", and "SPD" tabs?

Sorry, I realize I missed the last part of my post. Using CPUz, can you post a screenshot of the "CPU", "Memory", and "SPD" tabs?

That looks correct to me. I'd suggest trying half the sticks to see if that continues to run slow.

Have you tried the old sticks to make sure it is the RAM? Have you run any stability tests on the new RAM?

I'm not sure this is a RAM problem at this point.

Can you post your full system specs please?

What happens if you set the new RAM to 1333 MHz? Does it run better?
