Would you change kits?

Currently running 32Gb of 3200Mhz Corsair Vengange LPX RAM on the mono in my sig.

I cant get it to boot at anything over 2933Mhz.

Been considering swapping to either one of the 8 pack kits

or
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...3600mhz-dual-channel-kit-black-my-08q-tg.html

Are they guaranteed to run at rated speeds? And would i see any benefit from the memory i have at prersent, obviously id be going from 32Gb to 16Gb

Also tempted by this

I have the exact same issue with my setup. I've just bought a 3600MHz kit so I'll let you know how I get on but as above, I expect the limiting factor is the IMC of my 2700x.

How did you get on

In the end i did change to the 8pack kit and it works perfect straight from the box

Spoke to soon. Despite passing memtest i was getting the odd bsod. Only happened since swapping ram.

Had to back off to 3000Mhz to stop the bsods. Couldnt get it to work @ 3200 even with increased voltage and slacking off of the timings.

Bit dissapointed tbh but im assuming its the fault of my CPU given this is 2 sets its refused to run at 3200

No good here either, the new kit wouldn't run at 3200MHz out of the box so I'm just going to sell them & stick with what I had before.

I might just send my set back.

Sent the 8 pack ram back as i couldnt get it to run stable at rated speed.

Picked up the 32gb 3200 kit that was on offer last week and that runs perfect at 3200
