You recently acquired a new Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 system with 2x8GB at 3200MHz, but during installation the speed was limited to 2133MHz. Your MSI B350M MORTAR runs a Ryzen 5 1600AF (12nm), and you ensured compatibility by matching the sticks—CycleBench confirms identical specifications across all components. Now you’re unsure how to proceed.

For optimal performance, use two sticks instead of four. Running four sticks at faster speeds can be tougher on your imc. You may experiment with a few plays to achieve stability around 3000 MHz or lower.

Have you explored adjusting the memory rate within BIOS or activating DOCP/XMP settings?

I started by enabling XMP right after installing it.

Have you experimented with adjusting the speed settings yourself? I set up a system for a friend using a 1600AF and a B450 Mortar, successfully handling 16GB 3200 MHz with dual 8GB drives.

I reached 2733MHz at 1.35v by switching from 2x8 to 4x8.

Zen+ performs better with fewer sticks. I'm using 3400 with average timing and a bit more power on the 2700X on a reasonably good X470 board.

It depends on your needs. Keep the sticks if you plan to upgrade later; otherwise, selling them for a 2x16 kit might be more practical.

Challenging decision, unsure if more modern AM4 chips perform better with four modules versus two. Still aware they might excel with just two. A 16GB DDR4 3200 MHz chip could be found for about $40 on eBay if you wait.

The video suggests newer Ryzen CPUs with 4x8GB at 3200MHz show improved performance compared to 2x8GB at 3200MHz, though it also notes that a 2x16GB at 3200MHz model is considered superior.
