Kingston Fury 32 (16x2) sold as 3200 Mhz CL 16-18-18. A google search says it 16-20-20 when checking the numbers on it. They clock in at 2400 Mhz. Tried to set them at XMP 1, 16-20-20 at 3200, but the pc boots back in safe mode and bios said settings needs to be set back. Then read that it's recommended to have them in alo A2+B2. Saving with BIOS default and the pc won't boot at all.
Had to set them back in A1+B1and with XMP settings 16-19-19 it boots, but clocks in ad 3000 Mhz. Still 200 short. But as mentioned, 16-20-20 A1+B1 boot error and 16-20-20 in A2+B2, no boot at all. Pc starts though and there are lights in the ram chips.

I don't think the sellers not always aware what they actually shi.

Does it boot ok with just one stick?
(Place it in the Dimm2 slot first to try each one seperately and check speed and timings)

as a default for xmp: if you get issues from it, then disable it and run the RAM at its default speed, it can happen already in the xmp..
