@Nieuwegein,

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

Your HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop PC TG01-2000a (2Z6E1AV) is fitted with the HP Erica6 motherboard with SSID: 8906 -please verify.

Your desktop is particular when it comes to RAM, and especially attaining max RAM speed.

When you take a look at actual User benchmarks here: UserBenchmark: HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop TG01-2xxx Compatible Components (look for benchmarks with AMD Ryzen processors), a number of RAM models stands out in performance and running at 3200 MHz:

Samsung M378A2K43EB1-CWE 2x16GB
Hynix HMAA2GU6CJR8N-XN 2x16GB
Hynix HMA81GU6DJR8N-XN 2x8GB
Crucial CT16G4DFD832A.M16FR 2x16GB
Micron 8ATF1G64AZ-3G2R1 2x8GB

Whereas fancy gaming RAM such as Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200 and G.SKILL are stuck at 2133 MHz.

This issue comes up all the time.  Unless your computer BIOS allows access to XMP or a software utility program such as Intel's XTU, you can't do anything about it.  To make a long story short: the only way to solve this issue is to get rid of the RAM that runs at its SPD (default) RAM speed such as the RAM examples I just mentioned, and to choose one of the first RAM examples I listed.

[EDIT:] "Stick" (pun intended) with the same RAM (brand, model, capacity) for best overall RAM performance.

Hope this was helpful.

Hi. thanx for your reply. I have bought Corsair memory ( 2x8) and stuck to 2133. Should have asked first:-(. At the other hand, I first had 8 gb single memory so it is an improvement:-). And my games runs fine on 2133 GHz. So I, m happy for the moment.
