[SOLVED] can't set ram clock above 3200

I just build a pc with a ryzen 5 5600g with a 4400 MHz (as said by the store) 16gb gskill kit. At first I enabled the xmp profile and it ran in 4000 MHz(though it restarted three times before boot) but now if i try to run it in either 3600 or 3800(xmp disabled) the pc won't boot. The fans spins and light up but nothing show in monitor. However, if I set it on 3200 it will boot.
Is 3200 the limit? I have seen people run it at 3600-3800 and even 4000. Am I doing something wrong?
PC specs:
cpu: ryzen 5 5600g
ram: gskill 2x8gb 4400 MHz
motherboard: gigabyte b550m ds3h ac
ssd: 970 evo plus 500 gb
note: when setting the speed to 3600 or 3800 i changed the infinity fabric to half of the speed.
 
Solution
note: when setting the speed to 3600 or 3800 i changed the infinity fabric to half of the speed.
infinity fabric was set to 900MHz (for 3600MHz ram) or 950MHz (for 3800MHz ram)?

official IF speed is 1600MHz, going past that may not work with every mainboards and CPUs with stock voltage settings
mine mainboard could run 1766MHz without any errors, but 1800MHz produced bootloop or bios freezes
had to tweak a little voltages and it runs 1866MHz now (3733MHz ram 1:1:1 mode)

to see whats voltages your mainboard runs, you can go with auto bios settings at any stable ram frequency (IF set to auto)
then run ZenTimings, post picture from it

Solution
You are trying to set 3600 RAM speed for a CPU that supports up to 3200...

CPU can handle, but mainboard might be doing it wrong
