[SOLVED] DDR-4 3000 MHz using 2132 according to CPU-Z

[Perene]

I bought this new PC: i5 11400, MB = Z590-A Pro *

* https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z590-A-PRO

The BIOS has been updated to the latest version. Using Windows 11.

And two RAM sticks: Corsair Vengeance, CMK16GX4M2D3000C16
2 x 8 GB

It says here they have 3000 Mhz. DDR-4. My problem is that CPU-Z is telling me all this:

And when I enter the BIOS it shows this warning:

AIDA64 info:

BIOS says 2132 Mhz as well. What exactly needs to be changed/fixed here so I can use these sticks fully? Or is everything OK and they were installed/configured correctly?

You need to change the slots your ram is in. As the warning you posted shows, you have your ram in A1 and B1 and it should be in A2 and B2.

Move ram modules to recommended slots (system turned off, power disconnected).
Enable XMP in BIOS.

Wait, what is going to happen if I buy 2 more RAM sticks also with 8 GB each? They will have to be put in slots 1 and 3 even if I move the current ones.

There are different recommended configurations depending on number of modules used.
With 2 module configuration it is recommended to use slots A2 and B2.
All of that is described in user manual of your motherboard.

Certainly you have read it. Right?
If you haven't, then go and read it.
