I recently purchased two 8GB, 3000MHz RAM sticks to upgrade the existing 16GB in my system. They match the Corsair Vengeance models already installed. However, my computer isn’t recognizing them—no matter how I try combining old and new RAM, it won’t detect a new slot. The new modules light up when installed but still fail to appear. Any advice? My system runs a Ryzen 5 2600 with an RTX 2070 Super and 16GB of Corsair Vengeance RAM.

No, I haven't cleared the CMOS yet.

I hadn't considered it related to clock speeds initially, though I'll explore that option.

Check the stock and observe the boot process. If it starts, reduce the RAM speed.

Are you certain your motherboard is compatible with four of those specific types of DIMMs?
