Hey all, I realize there are a couple of other very similar posts on the first page right now, but they're not exactly the same as my question.
Ryzen 7 2700
ASUS TUF B-450M-plus gaming
2 2x8gb kits of Corsair vengeance LPX DDR4 3200 (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16) for a total of 4 x 8gb sticks.
The RAM speed defaults in the bios seem to be 2333. I've tried bumping this up a bit only using the memory speed dropdown (not touching timings, voltage etc.) and the best I've managed to get it to boot into windows at is 2866Mhz.
I've tried 2 sticks and 4 sticks, thinking that perhaps 2 sticks would respond better but anything faster than 2866 won't POST.
I only have a couple of days left on my return window for the memory so wanted to ask for some advice please - is it realistic to think I could buy a different/better 32gb 3200 kit for <$170 and hit a stable 3200mhz, or is it not that simple? I've seen people talking about b-die modules and ryzen memory sensitivity etc. so am wondering if I should swap it out for something else.
Side question - I also have an NVME ssd in this system. Running userbenchmark at stock RAM speeds, it was rated around 73% and 'underperforming'. When I clocked the RAM up to 2866, the SSD scored 100% and 'overperforming'. Does this make sense or was it likely an anomaly?
Thanks a ton for any insight.
