Question Can't overclock DRAM frequency over 2400 Mhz after latest bios (MSI A320m Pro VH Plus)

[dreamevil_dan]

I just updated to latest bios of the mainboard AM4 A320m Pro VH Plus to 7B07v3GQ Beta. As "Improved boot up time" seemed attractive. However, after doing so, when I enabled XMP and set profile 1 (Frequency 3200Mhz), PC would not boot, blank screen, no signal. So cleared CMOS, instead of enabling XMP, I just set the DRAM frequency to 3200, still the same. Cleared CMOS again, and now running at default 2400 Mhz. XMP was enabled to 3200 Mhz on my previous bios, 7B07v3GP Beta. However that version is not on bios list anymore. So..

What did I do to get this ? Did I do something wrong ?
What did MSI do to the new bios ?
Should I get a different AM4 mobo which is not MSI ?

My CPU is R5 3600, RAM HyperX Fury 3200 Mhz 8GBx2

Yep you cant overclock becuase your cpu is locked and cant handle it. If you wanted to solve this u would have to get a X model of the cpu

Bruh I said RAM, not CPU. And unlike Intel, Ryzen CPUs are all unlocked.

I’ve experienced the same thing here, i think the maximum frequency that we can set the Dram frequency is just 3000 for our motherboard otherwise it wont boot. I also have MSI A320M pro vh plus and it sucks cause i cant overclocked my GPU using this board
