The models differ; one is vengeance while the other is vengeance RGB pro.
I noticed only the CMW16GX4M2C3600C18 appears on that list. Your 2x8gb model is running perfectly, but I see those specific chips aren<|pad|>, which don’t support 4 dimmers. Could be the motherboard can’t handle that configuration?
Okey wait i found them on the list, and they dont seem like they have 4 dim socket support? is that why i cant have the speeds

I’d appreciate your assistance since this seems like a helpful addition to the guide. The RAM model is cmw16gx4m2c3200c16 (Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 2x8). Your motherboard is a Rog Strix B450-F gaming with a Ryzen 5 3600. Let me know if you need further details—I’m happy to provide more! Thank you!
SPD Speed stands at 2133MHz, meaning the base performance is 2133. You must adjust it yourself. A speed above this is called non-overclocked, which is 2666 for the board. The RAM supports XMP 2.0, but overall I’d choose 2666 for the best results. Running at 2666 maximizes performance as long as it’s stable. Overclocking is only worth it if the stock speed isn’t sufficient for your needs. It’s common to push speeds higher, but testing at the current setting helps ensure smooth operation. Unless you’re doing extremely memory-heavy tasks, boosting speed isn’t necessary. In short, if you don’t have a strong reason not to, go for 2666. (Personal opinion) On BIOS, use the AI tweaker, set Overclock Tuner to DOCP Standard and pick 2666 memory speed.
