In short, I had a pair of Ripjaws 2 with 8GB each at 3200MHz running smoothly with D.O.C.P(xmp). Later I bought two Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB sticks at the same speed. The problem started when I tried to enable D.O.C.P in BIOS—it already showed 3200MHz, but kept stuck at 2133MHz no matter what. Here are some points for clarity:
- PC would turn on and off several times before the screen appeared, saying memory settings reset due to boot failure (occasionally fixed after exiting BIOS)
- RAM remained locked at 2133MHz
- In BIOS it showed Target Drm Frequency as 3200MHz, but stayed at 2133MHz
- I checked each RAM stick individually and all worked fine
- Updated BIOS using ASUS EZ Flash 3, reset BIOS to defaults, tried D.O.C.P again at 3200MHz
- Old RAM stayed at 2133MHz even after reinstalling
- CPU is Ryzen 5 2600MB
- SSD is Samsung 980 Pro, GPU is EVGA 3070

Choosing 4x kits with 1st or 2nd Gen Ryzen can be problematic. There were issues reported with those models. Additionally, Corsair Vengeance faced several challenges in its earlier Ryzen releases. It looks like you're dealing with two problems at once.

It seems the new RAM isn't working at 3200Mhz. I'll keep the two Corsair RAM modules in mind, but I need help fixing the original one.
