I have 32GB of DDR5 RAM installed, and while gaming, I checked the performance metrics through AMD Adrenaline. I noticed that my memory usage is stuck at 16GB flat. If it had been any other number, I wouldn't be concerned, but seeing one stick of RAM completely utilized feels strange. How can I test my PC to verify that the other stick of RAM is functioning properly?

First things first, check your Task Manager to see if it recognizes all 32GB of RAM. Try opening a bunch of applications or tabs to see if the memory usage climbs up. This could indicate if the second stick is being used at all.
Definitely start in Task Manager to ensure your other stick is recognized. I've noticed that AMD's Adrenaline can be inaccurate and a bit behind in reporting memory stats, so don't rely on it too heavily for troubleshooting. Check your memory usage when idle too; on my systems, it typically ranges around 12-14GB.
This sounds like a classic case of misunderstanding system stats! It's kind of like saying 'my car showed it was going 40mph while I was driving, what do you think is up?' That said, I get your worry about the RAM; just ensure everything's recognized properly.
