Hi guys !

I recently increased my ram from 2x4GB (Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400MHz) to 2x8GB (Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3200MHz).
And for some reason everything is just slower? I can't even load up discord or a simple game without waiting for 30mins or the game not even being able to connect.
I've also checked that my RAM speed is going at 1600MHz, is this normal?
I've tried overclocking my ram only for it to shut down 2 mins after powering up. I cant seem to go past 1.2V for the DRAM.

Other info:
CPU: Ryzen 3 1200
Motherboard: ASRock A320M-DGS

That's extremely high temperature for a CPU. If you continue to use it in this condition then it might cause damage to the CPU. There are a lot of reasons for this problem. Make sure the RAM sticks are compatible with the Motherboard. Try adjusting the RAM speed. Make sure the CPU fan is spinning properly. If not, try a new CPU cooler. I recommend using an AIO.
aio? is it a new type of cpu cooler?
