Question My mobo uses 2400mhz even though ram is 3200mhz

You'll still have to use XMP.

than what's the point of changing the slots ?

Dual channel mode.

Dual channel mode.

okay does that do anything ?

Are we trying to do this ? like putting the rams on A2 and B2

but it says for DUAL channel ram " you always need to install identical (the samebrand, speed, size and chip-type) DDR4 DIMM pairs"

Yep.
Any problems with doing that?

Are my rams identical I don't know that

Compare CPU-Z spd tabs for each ram module.
You showed spd tab for one module only.
There should be another, if you change selection from slot #1 to slot #2, #3 or #4

this is the 2nd ram in 2nd slot I believe

the serial numbers of both ram seems different

Part number is the same.
DRAM manufacturer is the same.
SPD and XMP table is the same.

They're basically identical.

Nice so I can put them on A2 and B2 with no problem and get better performance

 

[SkyNetRising]

Yes. That's the idea.

 

[Nahboys]

Yes. That's the idea.

Okay I'll do that tmrw but not now cause it's super late night right and will do it tmrw for sure np

AND thanks THANKS A LOT LIKE A LOT THis means a lot to me like a lot

No, 3,200MT/s is probably a manual XMP selection, not an automatic BIOS selection. 2,400MT/s is probably the default JEDEC speed pulled out of the SPD (Serial Prescence Detect) chip on your DIMM.

An APU like the 5700G benefits considerably from dual-channel mode, using a pair of identical DIMMs in slots A2 and B2, regardless of any XMP overclocking up to 3,200MT/s. If you've only got one DIMM installed at the moment, your game FPS scores will be much faster if you fit a second DIMM, provided you install them in the correct slots.

By the way, at XMP 3,200, your RAM's true clock rate is 1,600MHz, not 3,200MHz, but Double Data Rate (DDR) means your CPU's data is clocked in and out on the rising and falling edges of the clock waveform, effectively doubling the 1,600MHz clock, to 3,200MT/s (Mega Transfers per second).
