I've been using these HyperX Fury RGB memory modules, which are rated at 3200MHz for around six months. Initially, they worked fine, but now I'm stuck at 2400MHz or less. Even pushing them above 2400MHz causes instability—my PC won't post and brings me back to the BIOS screen with error messages.

I managed to get them running at 3000MHz for a short time using specific settings: 1.38V, timing values 16-18-18-18-36, TRFC 460, TRFC 57 or 58, RTT settings rzq/7 and rzq/5, RTT_WR disabled, power down mode off. But now nothing works above 2400MHz, no matter what I adjust.

My system specs are pretty standard—ASUS Prime B450MK, Ryzen 5 3400G, Intel Xeon E5-2686 v4, AMD Ryzen 5 3400G, running HyperX Vega 11 at 1700MHz. It’s supposed to be compatible with a 3200MHz RAM, but it just won’t run above 2400MHz.

This is really frustrating, especially since my BIOS is up-to-date and everything else seems fine. I changed the frequency to 1660MHz for the Vega 11 and got a failure, but later it worked at 1700MHz again. The RAM can’t be set to 3000 or 3200MHz either. I’ve reset the BIOS multiple times, but nothing changes.

It seems like these modules might not be compatible with my current setup, or there’s something else at play. Please help me out—I’m really stuck here.

You're facing a couple of major issues. The board isn't ideal, and Zen+ tends to be sensitive to RAM usage. Cutting down to 2400MHz might be too much, even if the problem is a faulty component—unless you're still covered under warranty.

the board can handle up to 3000 mhz, but I can't exceed 2400

It advertises support for up to 4400MHz yet offers a minimal VRM design lacking any heatsink, limiting real-world performance. The Zen+ IMC might require more consistent power or simply a more reliable supply, while the board struggles to meet those demands.

The issue might stem from mismatched board or RAM packages.
