I have a Ryzen 2600, Asus B450 ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING MB, and 32GB total G.Skill F4-3200C16-8GVKB RAM (4 sticks of 8GB ea). Ensure the MB firmware is completely up to date. I use the built-in updater for that. Then you'll need to work on the RAM timing. The XMP profiles doesn't work (or whatever AMD calls them), IME. I've never gotten 3200 Mhz to work with my RAM, even with 16G matched RAM.
There are two ways to address this.
- Slow the RAM down - nothing over 2800 Mhz ever worked for me, but it is extremely stable at that speed.
- Relax the timings to 18-18-18-39 and increase the voltage to 1.410.
Someone else got 16-18-18-38 and 1.35V working. I've not tested it.
Code:
$ sudo inxi -mxx

My 4 sticks are unmatched. They are 2x8GB pairs. The system hasn't shown any issues once I got the RAM speed set. Any speed higher, say 2866Mhz would crash after a few days. I didn't take the time to tweak the timings after the 2nd pair of sticks were added. Before that, with just 16G total RAM, it would run at higher speeds - I don't recall what anymore. Sorry.
