I recently purchased 16x2gb of RAM and added them to my existing 8x2gb Kingston Fury units. Both are 3600Mhz, yet when I launch my PC and open Task Manager it displays a speed of 2400Mhz. The BIOS also shows 2400Mhz, even though the A-XMP profile is enabled. My CPU is a Ryzen 5 5600 and the motherboard is MSI 550B.

There are numerous threads comparable to yours. Combining memory, even from the same brand or product line, can lead to these outcomes. What are the precise models for the two memory pairs? If you opt only for the 2x16GB configuration, what effects will this have?

Task Manager isn't a trustworthy method for checking RAM speed. Results are usually unreliable.
Display CPU-Z screenshots, sections:
motherboard,
memory,
spd (one image per module).

With a 2x16GB setup you should be able to reach faster RAM speeds compared to a 4-module setup.

16gb models run with KF3600C18D4/16GX
8gb models use KF3600C16D4/8GX
using double 16gb gives a speed of 2400MHZ

Enter BIOS, adjust latencies to 18-22-22-42, set DDR voltage to 1.35V, Command Rate to 2T, DRAM frequency to 2400mhz and perform testing.
Rise DRAM frequency slowly, restart after each adjustment and retest at intervals: 2600, 2800, 2933, 3000, 3200, 3400, 3600mhz.
If testing fails, revert to the previous successful settings.

Also at 22, remember the DDR voltage settings.

Test slot A2 for each 16GB stick to observe its performance. Next, repeat the process with the 8GB sticks.

Sharing this now. The two sets of memory components differ entirely—one uses Samsung, the other Hynix. This aligns with our earlier conversation.
