My new ram does not work with my old one

Motherbord : Asrock b450 steel legend

Processor : R5 2600x

GPU : Sapphire rx 580 (8G)

Ram : GALS416GB3000C16ADC (1 x 8 ) 

New ram : Ax4U32008G16A- DR41 (1 x 8 )

I bought a new ram for my pc and when i try to boot the pc with the new ram, the pc would run and read 16Gs but just one of them would  function...if i install the new ram alone the PC runs fine, if i stall the old ram alone the PC also runs fine but together, the system reads 16Gs but on 8Gs are actually running. , i did some research and it may be the processor who can not identify the new ram.

i tried a lot of solutions for this problem but nothing works.

You should always install matching ram..

What you have is not only different speed, but completely different manufacturers RAM..

I have 4 x 8gb Corsair ram as a kit..

AMD Ryzen 7 3700x, Asus Tuf Gaming RX 6700 XT, Asus TUF Gaming x570 Plus, 32gb G.Skill TZ neo 3600mhz, Samsung 980pro 1tb NVME, Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1tb NVME, Lian Li Galahad AIO 240mm, Antec Titanium 1kw.

Just like @vialli100 said, don't mix, always get matching pairs.

But if you are going to do some mixing anyway, stay with standard speeds like 2133mhz, but then.. you will leave a lot of performance on the table.

The sticks you posted look like one has 3000 and the other 3200, so its normal things will go sour if you enable DOCP or XMP.
