CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 (OC to 3.85 @ 1.375v)
Motherboard: MSI B350M Bazooka
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 3200 (F4-3200C16D-8GVK)

I've been running 2x4GB at 3200 for the last few months with 0 problems. However recently I've been doing work that required more than 8 gigs of ram so I got another set of 2x4. When I put the new ram in and booted up the pc I instantly got a bsod. Scared my new set of ram was defective I took out the original set and tried to boot up with just the new ones and it was fine.

Why would it be fine with 2x4 but not 4x4..? 🙁

Anyways, back to the dream of 4x4GB. Figuring the speed was the problem I dropped the ram down to 3066, no more bsod, but its not stable and the computer crashes within 10 seconds. Then down to 2933... etc... all the way down to 2400 where finally I can use my computer again with no crashes.

Is there any way I can get the RAM to run at its specified speed and timing? This is my first pc build so I don't really know the complexities of higher speed ram. I would like to get the speed that I paid for, or at least 3066 at a mininum.

Should I change timings or voltage? I've never changed timings just used the xmp profiles on my motherboard. The RAM voltage is set at 1.35, would setting it higher help? Or any other settings on my motherboard?

Thanks!



 
The two kits may be mismatched and unable to operate at a high frequency with reasonable timings.

For this reason it is always recommended to use a single kit of RAM in each system that has been matched and tested from factory. This way the rated specs are guaranteed.

You can raise timings or Voltage to see what they can do.

Also, make sure each kit is installed in same color slots.
