Default Big OC problem with new RAM

Hello all.
I just upgraded my ram with 2x2GB Corsair XMS2 800MHZ from my 2x1GB Kingston HyperX 1066MHz.

With the Kingston ram i had my cpu running at 3600MHz stable for a couple of months.

But to the problem. With my corsair memory i can only clock my CPU to max 3250MHz, no matter what i do i can not get any higher without getting a overclocking failed at the post screen.

If i remove my Corsair ram and put my Kingston ram back i can easily get to 3600MHz again.

Does anyone know what the problem is? Its been bugging me alot, i thought only the amount of ram modules could mess up the clocking.

/Joki

I just wanted 4gigs and i did not want to spend so much money. I knew that clocking with 4 sticks of ram is a pain so i got 2x2GB instead of 2x1GB.
