Question Corsair Vengeance 2 x 16 will not POST in 3200 even with DOCP on ASUS Prime B450 M-A, Maxes at 3000

[Nomad94]

So I am having some trouble with this RAM I just installed. Runs perfectly fine at 3000 MHz. Tried to do DOCP on the ASUS BIOS and it still will not POST. I even tried setting the DRAM voltage to 1.45v and it still will not work. I wanted to see if anyone knew of any solutions for this.

MB: ASUS Prime B450 M-A
Memory: 32 GB (2 x 16) DDR4 Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3200 MHz
CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X - Not overclocked, at 4.2 MHz

Proper bios?

Was this ram a kit of 2 or 2 separate sticks?

One box. Kit of 2.

One box. Kit of 2.

Use one stick of ram in the proper slot.
Set the speed to 3200.
Run memtest86.
No errors allowed.

Then swap sticks and retest.

Look close at the label of each stick make sure they are exactly the same.

Hey Bob. I did everything you said and..... it worked! Same sticks. Everything was the same. I ran MemTest86. One passed and the other had 1 error. Ran the same test again on that stick and it had no errors. It was Test 8 that caused the problem.

Today, I installed a Cooler Master AIO and the RAM sticks have continued to work.

Thanks again for the help!
