The new RAM might not be working at full speed because of compatibility issues or a faulty installation.

Hey, I see you're dealing with a tricky setup. You've upgraded your components but still face issues with high-frequency profiles. It sounds like the new RAM might not be compatible with the current settings. Have you checked if the RAM supports the higher speeds you're trying to use? Also, ensure the CMOS is correctly set after replacing the old sticks. If using a single stick, it could be a mismatch in timing or voltage requirements. Let me know what you find!
I think I’ll proceed, just to confirm there are no issues with the CPU, motherboard, or GPU.
It's a chance but not very probable since you mentioned it succeeded at 3200mhz on older boards
Even with identical model numbers, the devices aren't necessarily the same. Kingston doesn't manufacture the chips themselves; other companies like SK Hynix, Nanya, Samsung and Micron/Spectec do. Each of these produces several generations of DDR4 RAM. When vendors switch to cheaper options, they often change suppliers or update generations while keeping the model number unchanged. You can verify this by decoding the details on the sticker—some models include this info, though not all. Ideally, different manufacturers would handle RAM differently, but in practice they don't.
I waited about two minutes. After resetting the CMOS, the post-up time is longer than usual, so I assume that’s the maximum expected. The BIOS update to version 4622 seems worthwhile—did you try it? (from version 4604 to 4622) Also, the AGESA was updated to ComboV2PI 1.2.0.Cc., and the CPU exception during item adjustment was resolved.
What seems to be the issue? Could the RAM modules be defective? The model number on your module appears quite different.
It might be defective or there could be a compatibility problem. The 5000 series offered a solid memory controller compared to earlier Ryzen models, but issues can still arise. If the BIOS isn't current, updating it may resolve the matter. Check each stick individually. The probability of both failing together is extremely low unless visible damage is present.
I mentioned earlier that the RAM is the only new addition I've made. I'm still using the old Ryzen 5 2600. I'll check the BIOS update soon to see how it affects things.
