Question Two kit 2x8gb it will run?

[mjeax]

Hello Experts,
I have two kit corsair vengeance rgb pro 2x8gb 3200MHz total 32gb ram my mobo is asrock xx470 gaming k4 is possible to run the ram at 3200??

You need to look up the serial number of the kit and check with QVL list of your motherboard, amd is tricky with running above 3000mhz.

Ok thank you.

Mixing 2 separate kits even of the same make and model can have issues. Usually ok but there is a slight risk. Really you should buy a single kit.

Memory is guaranteed in the form sold. There are no guarantees multiple kits will work together.

You should also be aware that populating more than two memory slots on an AM4 will reduce the maximum memory clock speed making a 3200MHz clock speed unlikely.

The chances of having a problem is low, but there is always a chance.
I have mixed ram many times and never had a problem, unless I mixed voltages.

What is better you think 32gb not clocked to 3200 or 16gb clocked to 3200???

Can you be more specific please? i am ok if have to take a risk.

So some memory needs 1.35v other 1.5volt - just check what voltage you need on the memory you have in there now and what the voltage is on the new one you want to buy.

I have set the volt to 1.360 but my mobo dose not read 3200

Don't worry about speed - just worry that all 4 can work together on the same voltage (default)

If your can't see RAM at default then there is a problem.

name and model of both ram set .

name and model of both ram set .

corsair vengeance rgb pro 2x8gb 3200MHz CMW16GX4M2C3200C16. I have two kit the same.

this is your ram and it work at 2133 so activate axmp in bios they might run at 2933 max so try them one set at the times https://www.corsair.com/ww/en/Categ...Black/p/CMW16GX4M2C3200C16#tab-tech-specsalso this one is not on qvl list .

What are you using your PC for?

I try one set and work fine but when add the other one it dose not

most is for gaming. Some times i edit video

Gaming will be better with 16GB at 3200 MHz compared to 32 GB at a lower speed. For video editing I'm not sure, I'm guessing it would depend on the size of the videos you're working with. If you actually start filling up all 16GB while editing then it would definitely benefit from the extra RAM.

so try the other set alone that did not work in test as primary ones.

i would that and let you know thank you
