System Specs: Ryzen 5 1600 3.6ghz 1.2 volts (Stable) Asrock X370 gaming X 4.90 bios 16GB Gskill Trident Z RGB F4-300016D-16GTZR (CL16-18-18-38 1.35V) = 2017 Manufacture Date 16GB Gskill Trident Z RGB F4-300016D-16GTZR (CL16-18-18-38 1.35V) = 2019 Manufacture Date Aorus GTX 1080 Ti Xtreme 256 GB SAMSUNG SSD 2TB Firecuda Corsair Rm650X This is the story: My system is nearly 2 yrs old on 16Gb Ram running 2800mhz stabl @1.35v Today i just purchased another 16GB Gskill Trident Z RGB F4-300016D-16GTZR same model of my old ram. But if i insert it on all 4slot and overclock it to 2666mhz or 2800mhz i only get 2133mhz. It will always reset to default speed. I even try insert only the two new ram and remove my old 2 ram and it can run 2800mhz. This means my 2 new ram is working properly. Tried also remove Cmos and Jumper. Im frustrated that my 4 ram can only run at 2133mhz to 2400mhz. Please help me to run at higher speed 2800mhz above ------------- Ryzen 5 1600 3.80ghz @1.3375v Asrock X370 Gaming X 5.20 Bios CM MA610P Aorus Xtreme Gtx1080ti Gskill Trident Z RGB F4-300016D-16GTZR @2800mhz SamsungEvo 250 2Tb Firecuda 1Tb WDBlack Corsair RM650X |

a few problems i can see 1, its not good to mix two different ram kits even more so for ram sensitive ryzen builds 2, you'll be considered lucky to even run 2400 with 4 sticks and why do you need 32gb of ram -------------

Might want to try upgrade the bios first 1st Gen Ryzen are hit & miss in ram compatibility but are known to play nice with samsung b-die, and using 4 dimm slot seems putting strain on your system/cpu. You have to manually set the ram timings for them to works nicely since I have similar situation but with different ram -> team dark pro 3200 cl14 (samsung b-die) With only 2 stick I can easily set xmp at 3200 even 3333, but with all 4 slot occupied I can get 2666 fully stable & 2933/3000 semi stable with just auto/xmp profile. I need to manually set the timing to get fully stable @2933/3000. If you still want 32gb of ram, imo just sell the ram and get 2x16gb one (since ram price are going down now), I manage to get xmp working right away with my corsair vengeance lpx 32gb-3200cl16 (2x16)
