[SOLVED] Can't run ram speed to advertised speed

[Hmm:D]

I have an asrock ab350 fatality k4 gaming mobo with the corsair vengeance LPX 8gb ddr4-3000mhz 2x4gb. I wanted to run to the advertised speed so i went in bios and tryed the xmp 2.0 profile 1 then saved. The pc was boot looping and after 3-6 times it started up and when i go to cpu-z it is still the same speed as before (2133). I did update the bios from the manufacturer's site to the latest version which is 6.00.
I want help to make it go as the advertised speed 2933 but i dont know how to do it. If someone could help i would really appreciate it.

I applyed the xmp 2.0 profile 1 multiple times but the same thing happened as above.
Cpu: ryzen 5 1600x

hi, 350 boards combined with ryzen gen1 were really picky with ram support

what u can do is enable xmp and reduce frequency
start with 2400mhz, if it boots, rise it slightly in 66/133mhz increments, until u find your highest ram clock for xmp timings
to go above it, u will need to fine tune your own timings

also ram placed in A2+B2 slots?

 

[Hmm:D]

ram are placed in A1 B1. Also do i just put xmp profile and decrease only the mhz not the volts and other things?

us a2+b2 slots for your ram, it has better compatibility

just reduce frequency, no other changes needed

See Memory Configurations table for officially supported speeds.

Ryzen 2000 Series featured an improved memory controller than allowed the next higher up memory speeds to be supported.

well i have 1600x on x370 mobo and can run fine 3400MHz with dual ranked rams, according to that "wiki" i should run it at 2400mhz
that was somewhat when it got released, further agesa updates did improve speeds/compatiibility (i started with 2933mhz max when it was shiny new)
