Ram issues

[Turnips]

MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK ATX Motherboard + AMD Ryzen 5 5600X AM4 Processor 

When i upgraded my pc it had 16GB Gskill TridentZ rgb ram at 2400mhz so i decided to go to 32gb howvever i bought the same ram but clocked at 3200mhz.

However if i try booot the pc with all 4 sticks of ram installed all i get is a black screeen.

try running 4 at 3000 .. or 2 at 3200.. 

amd is not realy happy with 4 sticks and XMP/DOHC/EXPO .. but it's a lottery.

Running the 2 sticks of 3200 works perfectly fine just not mixed with the 2400, i have tried the 2 sticks of 2400 on their own too and they do not work however worked perfectly fine on my old cpu and motherboard which were 1st gen ryzen.

you can only use the slowest speed if you use 2 kits.  most replace them entirely if they swap speeds.
