Question RAM speed question

2X8GB DDR4
2X16GB DDR4
2XGTX 1070 8GB in SLI
700W PSU
Intel Core i7 10700f

I recently installed the 2X16GB but in BIOS they show up as 2333MHz. XMP is enabled as 3200MHz and only works for the 2X8GB. How do I get all sticks running as 3200MHz?

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Are you trying to run two sets of rams on your motherboard? Please stop. Work with one ram kit alone. Think of ram upgrades like buying a pair of shoes. If you lose one shoe out of your pair, you will need to buy a pair from the store no matter how much you explain. Similarly, you will only achieve stability with a matched ram kit, so 4 identical sticks of ram in your case. Can you provide a link to both ram kits?

What BIOS version are you currently on?

even if these happened to be the same make & model,
they are not the same sized modules so they would be using different XMP/DOCP/etc profiles.

but, even then if they were the same sized modules,
there's no guarantee that they would function properly together being different kits of RAM.
different modules are very often manufactured with slightly different processes and components and still sold under the same model names.
this makes it very difficult to perfectly match RAM from different kits.

many times even when they do allow a system to boot and run the user will be experiencing issues with data inconsistencies, performance loss, system crashing, etc...

Both kits are listed as 3200MHz on amazon.ca

I guess I will sell off my 16GB kit. Thanks for the information.
