	Thanks for the reply. So far I can only get to about 2800mhz not the 3200mhz I bought it for. Are there different types of Trident??? Thanks.

	Ahh! A slight confusion. Zen 2 are Ryzen 3000-series. Zen+ are Ryzen 2000. There are many types of Trident Z, but yours look like they are mady for Ryzen, judging from the markings. If you really want 3200, there are a few things you could try, e.g. update BIOS and clear CMOS, swap the places of the RAM sticks, bump SoC & RAM voltage, etc.
