Ryzen 5 1600 Ram problems

[Puzzer]

Little bit of backstory:

So I knew going into ryzen about a year or two ago that it was very picky about the ram that it used. I picked up some G.Skill 2x8gb 3200 mhz ram since it was compatible (or atleast from my quick search) with my old MSI b450. Everything worked great until something with my old gtx 1050 shorted out a line in the motherboard so I got a MSI x470. I noticed something weird that it wouldn't take any form of dual channel ram without shutting off a stick in windows. So I just thought what the heck and went with it. Well recently I decided to throw in another set of G.Skill 2x8gb and saw that it only took 16 of my 32 gigs of ram; but it also decided that it should be clocked at 1866 mhz. I thought it was a problem with the board because the x470 had a weird cpu seating problem so I just picked up my brand spanking new Gigabyte b450 aorus elite and in which the same problem lies.

 

My problem:

I Currently have 32 gigs of G.Skill ram @ 3200 mhz but windows is only effectively seeing 16 without reserving the rest. 

 

What I have tried:

I have tried moving the old and new ram around to see if it was something not clicking right be either new or old it's only seeing half of what gets put in.

I tried clocking my dram voltage at 1.35 and seeing if it would pick up anything

I tried placing my SoC voltage around 1.1

I tired overclocking my ram slowly to see if it would get anywhere

But any form of voltage change my computer will restart, get like 2 seconds into a POST and then restart again

I wonder if it could be my powersupply hitting it's end right there or if it is something with my processor.

 

My build:

Gigabyte Auoris Elite B450

Ryzen 5 1600

G.Skill 4x8gb @3200mhz

Evga Gtx 1070

XPG Gamiix s11 Pro 1tb M.2

Corsair h110i

Sentra 725w

well Zen does not go well with over 2666mhz ram in the first place. more ram stick= more load on the already crap memory controller. Try to underclock the ram to 2666mhz and try then.

it's very unlikely to hit 3200 on 4 ram sticks on a r5 1600. start wit dram voltge 1.35 and soc voltage 1.1 and ram frequency 2400. see if that works. if it does, slowly increase ram frequency until it doesn't work anymore. it should work with 2667. if you're lucky, it might work with 2933.

Should I try this with xmp on or off? And if it is off should I go manually set my timings?

It still did that double restart thing. Do I just need to upgrade my 1600?

xmp off, timings on auto.
