My motherboard is Asus EX 320 gaming motherboard - Link
processor is Amd Ryzen 3 2200G , zotac geforce gtx 1050Ti
and finally my RAM is G.SKILL Ripjaws F4-3000C15D-8GVRB 8GB(1 x 8)- link

Although my current RAM speed is 3000Mhz it can't go beyond 2400Mhz because that's the speed supported by my Asus Ex 320 gaming motherboard, also in the beginning i found in windows task manager that my ram current speed was 2133 MHz, then later found that is the default speed of a DDR4 memory and changed it manually to 2400Mhz in bios settings, and also found that the advertised latency of my ram is 15-16-16-35 but in CPU-z it shows

So now i am thinking of adding either extra 4GB stick or 8GB stick, mostly i would be going for a 4GB stick as i think (8GB+ 4 GB =12) it is cheaper than 8GB stick and i am quite sure no game consume more than 6GB of space when it is being set in medium settings.

So please suggest me a specific RAM which i should buy and it would be compatible with the already existing G.SKILL Ripjaws F4-3000C15D-8GVRB 8GB.
Also please give me the link of the RAM's official brand site for my reference.

1st of all, update the BIOS of your motherboard within BIOS. This is for better compatibility and for a more stable system.
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/EX-A320M-GAMING/HelpDesk_Download/

install the 1st RAM in Dimm slot A2 and the upcoming RAM in DIMM slot B2

Usually the settings for the RAM can be chosen by setting a "XMP profile" within BIOS, but yours doesn´t provide it think. Maybe with a newer BIOS version. But you should still be able to set this manually.
Your CPU has a native RAM speed of DDR4-2933MHz, your motherboard with this CPU can reach up to 3200(O.C.).

Similar RAM can work, but it´s recommended to get a kit of two instead of two seperate sticks, to be as compatible as possible. Even different production weeks...

To minimize these issues you should sell your current stick and get a kit of 2x8GB, which is listed on the QVL (compatibility list of your motherboard)

Thank you , I just updated BIOS with the latest released version from ASUS offical site, this solved my problem, now in My computer-> properties it shows full 8GB as usable.
But after BIOS update i have been experiencing some strange heating issues without running any major application i am experiencing unexpected raise in CPU temp even without playing any games(i have not even installed game in the first place due to new HDD) , mostly i am just browsing using Firefox and seeing videos , i don't think browsing is a heavy demanding application like gaming and i expect the temp to be below 42 or 43 but CPU temp reached till 56 C which is totally unusual for just running browse. So please help me out, i don't know whether this hike in temperature is due to BIOS update.
eLQmRe

i am concerned because i have not been running any highly demanding application like prime95 or any game (i currently don't have any because of new HDD just 4 days before i installed WIN 10), all I am using is just Firefox and CAM software to record the Temperature of CPU and GPU nothing else.

i just can't imagine what would be the temperature if i run some resource intensive games.
I think i should tweak some volt in my BIOS settings so please help me out
My specs are

1. AMD Ryzen 3 2200G

2. Asus EX A320 gaming motherboard

3. G.skill Ripjaws V 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4 3000MHz Desktop RAM (F4-3000C15S-8GVRB)

4. Zotac Geforce GTX 1050Ti

6. Seagate barrcuda 1TB HDD

7. Corsair 550W psu
Please suggest me the optimal Volt,Fans speed , speed for my CPU,GPU and RAM for playing all the modern games in medium settings or low settings.

Did windows some updates while the temp. raised?

Check the cooler of the CPU, if it sits plain and is tightly mounted.

Is the graphics card installed already or do you use the onboard graphics?

Reset the BIOS of the motherboard. After a BIOS update, it can solve several issues. Reset it by jumper, should be named like jbat, clrCMOS or similar. It is described how to in the manual.

check the max. temp. while running prime95 (option smallFFT) with another tool like HWmonitor or the AMD overdrive tool

Also have a look at this thread:

I just now tested with Prime95 the temperature which i noticed are seriously high and scary it reached 90C. Please share your thoughts and give me your precise advice on what should i do on this.

The moment i open Prime95 and selected smallFFT the temp in HWMonitor went upto 80 and then every 2 seconds it kept increasing, when it reached 90 i stopped and closed Prime95, the temperature hiked just in very few seconds, i tested it hardly for 45 seconds. please tell me whether this temperature readings are normal for running Prime95(with smallFFT option) are these are too high.
