Need assistance upgrading your system? The components listed are an 8GB DDR4 3000MHz to 16GB DDR4 2667MHz upgrade.
Hello, I recently purchased a computer with the ASRock M320 Pro motherboard, Ryzen 3 3200G processor, and 8GB DDR4 RAM at 3000MHz. I was using it for gaming and multitasking, but after installing 2GB of integrated video card memory, I realized I needed more. I decided to upgrade with an additional Corsair LX Pro 2x4GB RAM module at 2667MHz. The issue began when I connected the new RAM, powered on the PC, and it failed to boot—restarting several times before finally starting. In BIOS I noticed the RAM frequency dropped to 2133MHz instead of the expected 3000MHz. I experimented with higher frequencies, reaching up to 2700MHz, but it still wouldn’t boot. The DRAM voltage settings were adjusted to 1.35V, but anything above that displayed a red warning. I’m seeking advice on why it isn’t working at the intended speed and how to resolve this. I currently have 16GB of RAM installed. Please help!
1. Two sticks per channel configurations don’t perform well.
2. 12nm and 14nm Zen CPUs show inconsistent memory OC performance; your CPU supports up to 2666MHz with four sticks from AMD.
3. A budget board won’t make a difference either—your chipset is labeled A320M Pro4, not the intended model.
In short, you’ll likely receive suboptimal results and might end up with the least desirable setup.
On the AsRock site, the maximum performance listed is one single-rank chip running at 2933MHz.
