[SOLVED] RGB RAM

[My name is Jeff.]

Hi

I recently bought a pre-built gaming PC and would like to increase the RAM from 8GB to 16GB.

I'm particularly interested in RGB as it looks better and been doing alot of research to determine if it will actually work on my system.

The mobo I have is an ASUS Prime A320M-K with a Ryzen 5 3400G CPU.

Only have 2 slots for RAM and 1 is filled with a Crucial 8GB DDR-4 2666.

I'd like to upgrade to with 2 x 8GB Corsair CMW16GX4M2C3200C16 Vengeance RGB Pro DDR-4 3200

I'm not sure if my board will accept the XMP/D.O.C.P profile from this RAM, reason being, the docp option in BIOS is currently disabled and cannot enable (presumably because the current RAM doesn't have any profiles on it)
Also, under Ai Tweaker, I don't have Ai Overclock Tuner option listed at all.

The BIOS is at the latest version too.

I'm not sure if the overclock tuner is required or not or whether it will magically appear once docp is enabled (if I can enable docp that is)

This RAM is expensive and really don't want to waste my money if it's not going to work.

Any advice you have will be a big help.

Thanks

Looking at the QVL that RAM isn't on the list. Now that doesn't mean it won't work, it just means it hasn't been tested on the motherboard. Another option would be the G.Skill Trident Z RGB https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232751 The F4-3200C16D-16GTZ has been tested and works on your motherboard. The linked chips are F4-3200C16D-16GTZRX which is the same base model just with RGB.

Thanks guys.

I decided to go for the Crucial Ballistix RGB in the end. The G.Skill is really nice, but was a little more on the pricey side and as it wasn't on the QVL, I didn't want to take a chance.
I will install them over the weekend and see how I get on.
I'm hoping once they are in, the DOCP option will become available to me.
