i used to be able to run a total of 4  ram sticks and suddenly now im only able to run 2, depending which one of the 4 i have. according to my motherboard compatibility chart, this ram isnt compatible with the ryzen 5, 2600 but it is with the 3000 series. and also running User benchmark, everything except the hard drives are running under they're expected performance. any ideas of troubleshooting before i scrap the parts and scrummage some money together?

compatiblity affects stability, not performance directly (since of course, a system that doesn't run properly doesnt have any meaningful performance)

so it wouldn't cause the other pieces of hardware to be slower? my ram was rated at 3,000 MHz and its only able to run at 2,100 MHz.

Could be that its set to 2100 in bios, you should change it in bios.

In most cases you need to enable XMP in the UEFI/BIOS to get full rated speed out of ram.

i have tried both, and it makes my system super unstable and mostly unusable.
