Gigabyte SIV (System Information Viewer) reports wrong Memory?

[Dreamcaster]

I have 2 modules of Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR3-2133 (part# CMD16GX3M2A2133C9)

It is a PC3-17066 type of memory, but SIC reports it as a PC3-10700 (667Mhz) one.

Bug or they sold me the wrong RAM?

10700 is ddram 3 1333

[Dreamcaster]

Yes, that's right. DDR, double rate ram, so 667*2=1333.

Point is, I bought DDR3 2133Mhz ram!  :|

Well if you cant set it higher in bios then contact seller and explain what happened.

Well, according to CPU-Z, BIOS and SIV, ram is currently running at 2133ish mhz. But its name/type is still PC-3 10700@667
Ballicom replied saying they're happy to test the ram and replace/refund if faulty.
Is there anything else I could do to make sure it's the right type of ram?

Today I installed another utility called RAMMon.
I have generated a PDF (attached) you can check.

What should I do? Ballicom have contacted me saying they are happy to replace/refund the RAM...but I don't want to stay 1 week with no PC!

If cpuz and also your attached report states it is running at 2133 I would leave it alone. If it was really only 1333 ram then it would in no way reach 2133 so you are safe.

Just because a program reports a number as in  10700 that is reading off the chip id.  they could use that numer an many chips but in face the chips you have are 17066 as you can tell by speed.
