Hyperx 2133 Mhz DDR4 issue when using Ryzen?
Hyperx 2133 Mhz DDR4 issue when using Ryzen?
CPU : Ryzen 5 1600
MB : MSI B350 PC MATE
OS : Windows 10 x64
Previously the setup ran smoothly with 4 Gb of DDR4 memory at 2133Mhz, but recently I acquired another stick with identical specifications. With this new one the system fails to boot at all, I cannot access BIOS, and it keeps restarting. When both sticks are connected in BIOS, it displays that only 4 Gb of RAM is installed, while Windows shows a total of 8 Gb (only 4 actually used), which seems to be a limitation from the 32-bit version. The issue persists even when testing on another machine (Intel). My BIOS is up-to-date after an update.

Have you reinitialized the CMOS? Would you attempt to use the same one in your device?
Did you reinitialize CMOS? Have you tried using the same one in your setup? I removed the CMOS, but the new stick isn’t functioning on my system. The DDR light (in the debugger) is staying on, while the old one works properly. On an Intel system it works fine, and both in dual-channel mode. Why does it work on Intel but not on AMD?
I'm not familiar with a Kingston device that doesn't work with any AMD setup. Could be a server memory issue, or perhaps the Intel is a Xeon.
Ram is sold in kits for a specific purpose.
A motherboard needs to handle all the ram according to the same voltage, case and speed requirements.
The internal design is tailored to the capacity of the kit.
Ram from the same vendor and part number may have different manufacturing parts over time.
Some motherboards are more sensitive to these changes.
This becomes more challenging when multiple sticks are involved.
That’s why ram manufacturers do not support ram that isn’t purchased in a complete kit.
Ryzen is especially strict about ram compatibility.
Not all DDR4 ram will function correctly.
Do some research and buy only compatible ram kits.
Check your motherboard’s website for the RAM QVL list. It shows all tested ram kits for that specific board.
Occasionally, the QVL list isn’t updated after a new motherboard is released.
For the latest details, visit a ram vendor’s site and use their selection tool.
Enter your motherboard to see compatible kits.
Also consider the CPU model you intend to use.
I recommend swapping your current ram for a supported 2 x 4GB kit if needed.
