I recently acquired two additional RAM sticks matching the ones on my motherboard, bringing the total to 32GB with a 3000MHz clock speed. The system reports the correct capacity, but the listed RAM speed varies between 900MHz and 1400MHz depending on game boost and A-XMP settings. I confirmed my motherboard supports these speeds, indicating compatibility up to 3200MHz or more. After performing a factory reset and moving my operating system to another drive, the problem continues—especially with game boost and A-XMP causing occasional crashes. I’ve attached a screenshot of CPU-Z showing the current RAM configuration and the SPD tab; it looks like the timing or voltage values might be incorrect.

The task manager states the frequency as 60 Hz.

Identical to CPU-Z, I'll share a screenshot.

It's odd that it still works despite the slow speed.

Verify if your motherboard can handle four sticks at those rates. Some systems claim support for this, though they typically require two sticks of RAM to unlock the full performance.

I haven't tested it yet, but I remember something similar occurred with two sticks. I'm going to remove two and check the outcome.

Hey there, please inform me. If it can reach those speeds using just two sticks, you may need to adjust the settings manually in the BIOS.

1400MHz equals 2800MT/s assuming dual-rank sticks; otherwise, manual tuning will be necessary. The 2000 series Ryzens memory controller may limit performance due to its strict requirements.

Removed two units, still operates at 1400MHz. Attempted to configure all for 2800MHz but no success. Checked the hardware visually—some variations exist but voltages and speeds remain consistent. (Photo attached)

You can start by adjusting individual settings one by one. Use a calibration tool or reference chart if available, and gradually refine the parameters until you achieve the desired performance.
