Determining a steady clock for mixed RAM

I adjusted the ASUS motherboard settings to match a common speed. Checked CPU-Z for the correct speeds and voltages. Slots 1 and 3 were higher, so I set them to 3200. The BIOS voltage was 1.5, which seemed too high—maybe it should be lower. XMP didn’t work with all sticks, so I’ll verify those settings next time.

Adjust to the slower sticks' specifications (like 2400). The quicker sticks should typically keep up, but remember: avoid buying sticks expecting mixed speeds—think of it as mixing drag rails with front tires on a dirt buggy.

A few folks purchase prebuilt units, but the sole additional piece available is a slow one. Don’t worry if I’m mistaken—since you have two options, it’s likely you won’t exceed 2400.

I would set the timings manually to 1 6 -15-15-15-35-50 1.25v and try it. If using 1 5 -15-15-15-35-50, turn off gear down mode. Also disable power down mode. Begin at 2133mhz and increase gradually. It halts when it stops. Return to the last stable bootable version and verify stability.

I purchased it because it was on sale.

It's great you spotted a Ryzen 5000 for a good price! To run it on an X470, make sure you have the right setup. Keep your old components as backups and swap them in when needed. Only buy what you can genuinely use as intended.

6600K, Asus Z170M+, 1050 ti. The reason for the 32gb of RAM is to avoid closing all Chrome tabs while playing games, especially War Thunder. It tends to lag when using Chrome and launching the game.

Thank you for the suggestion, but I used it on the FB marketplace for a better price.
