Question Does ASRock B450 steel legend support 3600 mhz DRAM?

[DUMB2030]

I am currently ASRock B450 Steel Legend motherboard with Ryzen 5 5600G processor. According to the specs, this motherboard support upto 3533 +(OC) for pinnacle ridge. I was running a single stick 8GB 3600 mhz RAM with no problems. But when I installed another one, XMP profile didnt work properly. Even though the voltage was increased according to the XMP, the RAM frequency did not increase. To make sure I checked BIOS and task manager several times. I only got two options left to try, updating BIOS and changing ram slots from 1 & 3 to 2 & 4. Please let me know any other ideas.

I mean I could try 3200mhz then whats the point of buying identical RAM.

Edit: Changing the RAM slots worked to 2&4. By the way, I read somewhere that 5600G can support upto 4400 mhz although it is not worth it.

According to the ASRock website specifications of this MoBo, using Ryzen 5 5600G with the core code Cezanne, the memory frequency is up to DDR4 3200, and only when the CPU's core code is Pinnacle Ridge, it can reach 3533MHz under OC

You added a outer stick of memory so that might and might not work.
Your best bet was to buy a set of memory in the size you needed not just adding more.

The best slots are the 2nd and 4th going away from the CPU in a 4 DIMM slot setup.

To be clear, no one guarantees 3600 on any Ryzen CPU on any motherboard. It's always "overclocking" and therefore subject to the vagaries of silicon quality. The motherboard doesn't have nearly as much effect on what memory clocks you can get as does the processor. Ryzen 5600G processors are spec'd to 3200 memory clocks so getting 3600 in any circumstance is overclocking.

After putting in a new DIMM, or moving DIMM's to different slots, reset CMOS, accompanied with a battery pull.

If it doesn't start up at 3600 on XMP, set RAM voltage manually in BIOS. At first set it to the recommended voltage on the package, if it still doesn't try about .05V higher, so if it says 1.35V try 1.40V. If it works, reduce it in steps from there.

If the sticks are mis-matched it's not likely you'll get it to run at 3600 in any case; the more mismatched, the less likely. If you bought them at separate times (as it seems) and not a matched pair kit, that's a lot of mismatch.
