Hey there! I’m trying to add 8GB of RAM to my system, but I have a concern. Currently I have two 4GB Corsair Vengeance 3000Mhz CL15 modules on a B350 Tomahawk board. I came across some budget HyperX Fury 3000Mhz CL15 units and wondered if XMP profiles would still apply since their specs are quite similar. Also, I don’t need to worry about manual overclocking—just making sure they hit the 3000Mhz target works out. Thanks in advance for any help! If you have a link to a relevant discussion, that’d be great.

Sure, just enable XMP and adjust the frequency to 3200MHz and it should work smoothly.

Definitely not. The best you'd hope is 2666mhz.

I'm sure Corsair Vengeance 3000MHz works well at 3200MHz. Also, it's possible to configure both brands to run at different frequencies.

Sorry for the delay, I was getting bitten by a mosquito. My AC seems to suck them away like a vacuum cleaner. I assumed it was a B450M, but it’s already 8:30 AM and I haven’t even gotten to bed yet!

A software update might address the problem. I plan to purchase a 3300X/1600AF later this month along with an 8GB RAM kit, which would be necessary. If not, can I confidently buy the same RAM kit and perform XMP/manual overclocking while ensuring all slots are filled?

The latest update includes improvements, and at 3300x it could function well due to enhanced RAM support.

RAM arrived quicker and I attempted installation to check compatibility. It functions properly with manual overclocking at 2800Mhz CL16 and 1.35V initially. This meets my needs, so pushing further frequency isn't necessary. Used stock BIOS; model B350 Tomahawk, R3 with 1200 OC'd to 3.9ghz. The memory sticks are CMK8GX4M2C3000C16 and CMK8GX4M2C3000C15, 2x4 + 2x4. Updated the post as it could assist others.

Hi, I own a Thermaltake ToughRAM 16GB (8x2, 3200MHz) and a HyperX Kraken 8GB (3200MHz). I tried enabling XMP but it didn’t help, so I went into safe mode and turned off XMP. If I overclock manually, could it improve performance? What frequency should I aim for? My PC has been running fine for a year, but it’s stuck at 2400MHz instead of utilizing the full RAM speed. Please advise.
