I have ADATA 8GB with 2400MHz and a stick of AFOX 8GB at 2133MHz. It seems possible to use both in dual channel. Perhaps I should try boosting them to 2933MHz? Also, I’m considering the A320M-S2H RYZEN 5 2600 and wondering if it’s worth buying new memory since I don’t think RAM speed is that crucial. Dual channel matters more to me.

They can operate in dual channel mode, yet both will function at 2133MHz

You should receive dual channel support, though it's not assured. You won't be overclocking the RAM on that board, as it's a locked design—every A-series model follows this rule.

Confirming the details: it handles up to 3200MHz, includes XMP support. Speed is a key factor—consider upgrading to a 16GB module or finding an equivalent ADATA stick if needed.

Activate XMP settings when available on the memory, even if you haven't manually increased its speed.

I don't believe these sticks have XMP support. I might test them later, but the system won't start. I'm not sure if the issue came from the BIOS or if the AFOX stick was faulty.

Sure, I’d opt for a 2x8G 3200Mhz or even a 3000Mhz system based on availability and cost.

Some believe the issue stemmed from the CPU's maximum clock speed of 2933MHz, while the motherboard wasn't optimized for XMP profiles. Others think the 2133MHz RAM speed might have been a limiting factor. Consider trying dual-channel configurations or checking if the problem persisted.

You should have the sticks ready and try dual channel first. Check the results; I’m not certain about the motherboard’s ability to support RAM faster than 2933 without more info.

Others believe speed is crucial for Ryzen, while others don't agree.
