So you've already tried both sticks in the motherboard and they won't boot? If you haven't you won't know until you try.

Ps, if they don't boot go into bios and give them a little help set cl to 10 on both sticks and set 2T if they're showing up as 1T.

So the 2x4 work atm at CL9? (CL9 is btw. better than 10)
Just leave it be then.
No i cant boot on cl9 4gb i can only cl10 4gb
You need both sticks to support CL9 then.

Or just use CL10 as both your sticks support the lower speed.
Thing is i can't boot my pc with this one (cl9) i can boot it only on this one (cl10) so i ask is it possible to set up in bios both slots for ram to work on cl10 somehow
Yes,... check your mail motherboard manual for how.

Maybe swap the sticks around so that they are in the opposite slots.

So this telling me that i can't use 4gb with 8 cells and i cant boot my computer ,i can only boot on 16 is this cell means something special or 8cells are cl9 and 16 are cl10 ?

Forget about what it says ^.

Do both sticks actually work separately when plugged into the mobo.

It works or it doesn't ram is that simple, you have 2 sticks one cl 9 and one cl 10, you need to go into bios and set them both to cl10 leave the rest to auto and like I said if you want to have a little more leeway set them to 2T.

If it doesn't work give it up.
