Issues with RAM frequency after upgrading.

So earlier this year, I bought new sticks of Corsairs Vengeance Pro RGB ram (2*8gb sticks rated for 3200mhz) and for a while it was fine. And recently, I upgraded from a crappy Ryzen 3 3200g to a Ryzen 7 2700x and 2 more sticks of the exact same ram and when I installed them in the remaining 2 slots of my b450 f motherboard from ASUS and it bootlooped which I thought as normal with a new CPU and memory but it said there was a memory issue which confused me so I went into bios and changed the RAM to 3200mhz as it was at 2133mhz and then I saved changes and reset my pc and then it bootlooped and said memory failure. It only boots at 2400mhz or lower. What do I do?

and when it is booted, it is much less responsive than before and it would actually crash completely, no BSOD just hanging

The ram you have is it all the same speed and timing? like 100% identical?

Also does you Motherboard support 4 sticks of memory?

 

Some motherboard will have 4 slots, but 2 support single channel and 2 support dual

 

Could also try taking out your old pair and leaving the new pair and see if it boots. The RAM might be DOA.

Sorry I probably edited my post. Refresh plz. Build Specs Below.

That CPU only guarantees up to 2933mhz

 

The motherboard may guarantee support for 3200mhz with using 2 dimms, I cant find the info on that, but my ASRock B450 Pro4 is like that.  With 4 dimms I have to clock to 2666mhz (CPU limitation) but with 2 sticks I can manually get it stable at 3600mhz (way over CPU limitations for gen 1 ryzen)

 

Set XMP profile in BIOS, then manually click the mhz to 2933mhz - does it post?

I'll try 2933mhz and hopefully it will boot fine and is stable
