3 Steps to Verify Your RAM Is Running Correctly

Check that BIOS reports 32GB total If it shows less, one stick is likely not seated fully or you are using the wrong slots. Most motherboards require slots 2 and 4 (counting from the CPU) for dual-channel operation.

Enable XMP (or DOCP for AMD) to get the rated speed Your RAM defaults to a safe 2133 or 2400 MHz. A 3200/3600 kit will run slow until you enable XMP in the “Overclocking” or “AI Tweaker” section. It is a single toggle — save and reboot.

Confirm the speed after reboot Your RAM is fine; it is just being conservative out of the box.
