Your BIOS is probably set in EZ mode and as Richad said, you probably need to tweak some XMP or EXPO modes in the BIOS to get the most out of the modules.

Yes, I have those, thanks. They're pretty useless and don't really match what I see on screen.
I've just had a fiddle in my AM5 BIOS and while it's not *immediately* obvious, you can enable EXPO by clicking the A-XMP profile 'button' until it's shaded.

Save and exit. Your machine will restart itself a few times and then you should get the most out of your memory modules.
That sounds promising. I'll give it a try, thanks.
