That's true, but why do I score so low on userbenchmarks?

Hi there, my Samsung 860 QVO 1 TB is running much slower than should (from what I've researched), I'm using AHCI mode and I've plugged the SSD into SATA0 . I've also made sure that I updated the drive using SAMSUNG Magician. Everything from what it seems should be fine, but the SSD is still not...

New motherboard did the trick! Thank you very much for your help!

Also, the RAM I’m using is the same as before, just I got it replaced. It’s still the Corsair Vengeance 32GB 3200 RAM as before, just I sent back the previous and got it replaced to make sure it wasn’t that RAM.

Hi there, I checked the QVL before purchasing, it’s validated that this RAM should work. Also, if Corsair double it that must mean we should be good. I’ll let you know how things went on, thank you for being such a massive help :)!!

I've decided to return the motherboard, and purchase the Aorus Z390 AORUS PRO (Socket 1151/Z390 Express/DDR4/S-ATA 600/ATX). We'll see how this goes...

BIOS update completed, with the new replacement RAM sticks as well as a hard reset (followed exactly as you explained), still met with the same problem, copied the timings of Corsair’s page (for this specific RAM), still no luck. I did everything you requested and still no luck. I’m quite lost...

I did update the BIOS, I even tried the beta, no luck. Only time I got it to work was when I used each RAM stick on its own

and yes I was using the right slots, I made sure of that

No. Each time I’ve been testing the RAM on it’s own.

My final plan is: If the replacement RAM doesn't work, as well as what you recommended, I'm going to refund the motherboard and invest in another one (not sure yet though, recommendations would be much appreciated lads <3).

I will try this once the replace RAM returns, I checked the QVL for my board, the exact model I had (and the way I had it) should work and be able to OC to 3200 MHz, according to the QVL. So basically it may have been faulty RAM, now the reason I think this is due to the reviews of the RAM...

Hi Hi I noticed something weird once I started troubleshooting, when each pieces of RAM are on their own, XMP works fine. I tried both 2 and 4 slots for both pieces of RAM, and on their own XMP has no issues...

Hi, sorry for this annoying question but what RAM would you recommend that is a similar price to what I've previously bought (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B016ORTNI2/ ) ? Thank you so much :)

What would be the best step from here? Return the RAM? Or just deal with the current clock?
