Hi Everyone,

So I built a PC the other day using:

MSI B450 Mortar Titanium MB

Ryzen 7 3800X

Corsair H60

Corsair Vengeance LPX 2X8GB DDR4 2400MHz CL16 CMK16GX4M2A2400C16 (2 sets, total of 32Gb by 4 sticks of 8gb (2 sets of 16gb))

Kingstone A1000 nvme 480gb SSD

Asus RTX 2080TI Dual Advanced GPU

Samsung EVO 850 480gb

Coolermaster 750W platinum 80+ PSU 

then I updated the bios to the last version (16/6/2020 ver) and then went into the bios and switched to XMP mode, 

BUT I went into a problem...., when I tested the PC using Userbenchmark my memory went like 60 to 72 percentile which is a very low score, then I opened the CPU-Z software and saw the following information:

Slot#1: 8gb 2400Mhz

Slot#2: 8gb 2133Mhz

Slot#3: 8gb 2400Mhz

Slot#4: 8gb 2133Mhz

PLEASE(!) if someone can tell me why does the CPU-Z is showing some of the memory sticks as 2133Mhz and not 2400Mhz???? 

Can someone help me to solve this issue?, thanks in advance!!

Set the timings and voltage manually to what you see as the XMP in CPU-z, or as it's stated on the package.

Hi and thanks for your reply

just to make sure, should I put 16 16 16 39?

I have attached CPU-Z screenshots,

Thank you,

Yes, 16-16-16-39 1.2v.

It needs to be said though that you're not losing -a lot- of performance with those speeds, -maybe- 1%, as AMD's work with the memory controller on the Ryzen 3000 series means memory speed is no longer paramount.
