New memory not running at right speed

[zepidus]

I had two 8gb sticks of 2,133 (16gb) running in my computer, upgraded to eight 4gb sticks running at 3,200 (32gb) after a reboot and saw that it was running at the old memory speed using CPU-Z

I enabled XMP in the bios after that and it looked like it had the right specs in bios 3200. But my computer wouldn't boot so i had to default back to what it was to get it to boot. This is what these Corsair Dominators are at base speed without an overclock. Am I doing something wrong? I haven't done any overclocking on this PC. Had for a couple years now. I did on my 2009 build but I guess it's been too long to remember.

Specs
5820k
1080 Msi Armor
MSi x99 Plus

Thanks for any assistance guys!

There's no guarantees when mixing DRAM from different packages that the sticks will even play, let alone run to spec. Might make sure you have the latest BIOS, enable XMP, raise the DRAM voltage + 0.05 and set the System Agent Voltage (VCCSA) to 1.25 and try

Thanks, I figured it out. The Bios I had didn't support the newer ram. Updated that and everything worked great! Didn't mix Ram's just replaced with newer. Thanks Trades!
