If the older RAM runs at a lower voltage you may have a problem.

Check it out, see if it can run at 2.5V. If it can, bump it up to 2.5 in the BIOS and that should fix it.

It's not OC, it's a function every motherboard should have for operating memory correctly.

Yea, the motherboard should do it automaticly, however some don't and you need to set it yourself.
