It's completely normal and it's your RAM. Vengeance and Ryzen don't perform well together.
That sounds correct. Your Ryzen setups with Vengeance RAM at XMP are functioning well. The slowdown you mentioned was likely due to a graphics driver issue, which was fixed by resetting the graphics interface. For better RAM options for Ryzen, consider brands like Corsair, G.Skill, or Kingston, which offer high-performance options suited for these processors.
Consider repositioning it in the PCI slot or switching to a different one to test. A slight bump might be causing the problem. Check if others on the same motherboard have similar issues—update the BIOS or drivers if needed. Ensure adequate cooling and remove any dust from the vents.
