[SOLVED] Is it normal for ram speed to go down when installing more?

[Aurora02]

I recently got a new pc and wanted to upgrade the ram. The starting ram speed was 3200 mhz and 16 gb's. I ordered the new ram and installed it today but when i put the new ram in, my speed went down from 3200 mhz to 2133 mhz. Im sure i installed it right because it said 4 out of 4 slots used and now i have 32 gbs of ram but im just wondering if i should worry about the decrease in ram speed.

2133mhz is the base frequency for ddr4 ram. xmp profile is a setting in bios which dials in a factory tested overclock, in this case to 3200mhz.

Is it good/worth to overclock to 3200mhz? I had no problems with 3200mhz speed beforehand so I think it shouldn't be an issue.

Yep. The profile is factory tested, so it will work.
