Question My ram can only run in 3200MHz and i got a 3600MHz ram

[aleksej3341]

I have a Ryzen 5 5600x and 2x8gb Kingston Fury DDR4 3600mhz and I can only run it at 3200 MHz and a ASUS prime B450-A II Motherboard
It doesn't boot up when I try to go over 3200.
How do I fix that.

check both motherboard & memory QVL for compatibility.
if either does not include the other in their listing then they likely have been proven to not function properly together.

you can also try manually inputting the RAM's manufacturer rated specs in the BIOS rather than enabling XMP/EXPO.
if still not functioning properly;
try slowly raising voltage and testing with MEMTEST86 between each small increase,
and slowly lowering timings and testing between each decrease.

Installed in slots a2-b2?

 

[aleksej3341]

They are in slots a1 and b1

My components are all compatible.

I have an Asus 570 with two sticks of 3600. Fill the "a2/b2" slots first.

Thank you everybody i fixed it it has 3600MHz now

Most likely it will force you to run at 3200mhz with 4 sticks, if it works at all. Mixing ram kits, even if the part number is the same, can lead to instability. I would just buy a new 2x16gb kit, and sell your current 2x8gb.

I got 1 more question about ram.
In task manager it says im using 30% of my ram but when i calculate it its only like 2gb that's like 10% i dont know why it does that.

 

[aleksej3341]

And what is the fastest ram speed i can get for my setup
ryzen5 5600x

You do not want to go faster than 3600 CL16. You can possibly do 3733 CL17 but it gets pricey with little benefit. Beyond that throws your CPU to ram clock ratio from a 1:1 to a 2:1 which causes increased latency and a performance loss.
