Loud beeps from motherboard after changing RAM frequency?

[Navitus]

I have a set of G. Skill DDR4 Flare X 3200 16 GB that I'm using with an MSI X370 Carbon. I just went into the OC and selected 3200 from the menu (it was at 2400). I saved and exited the bios and the computer rebooted, but there were a few loud beeps that came from the motherboard. They sounded like alarms of some kind. There were 6 of them. Is everything okay? It booted right back up and I went into the BIOS to see if they RAM had successfully changed frequency and it did. Can someone please help me?

My specs are:
Ryzen 1800X
G. Skill DDR4 Flare X 3200 16 GB
MSI Carbon Pro X370
GTX 1080 Ti
EVGA 850 Watt PSU
NVMe M.2 500 GB Samsung SSD
256 GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD

I changed the RAM frequency to auto and it went to 2400 then rebooted and I got no beeps. So it seems to be something with 3200. Can someone help me on this?

You are probably pushing the ram too far with the overclock. Ryzen platforms at the moment do not run well at all or not at all when trying to reach the full speed of 3200 ram. This is just the nature of the new immature platform. Keep your current auto ram profile for stability. Future bios updates will constantly be coming out to handle better ram performance with this product. Your 2400 is pretty good. Some people can only get 2100 currently on their Ryzen motherboards.

It seems to work just fine when setting it to 3200, it's just that the motherboard beeps. It acts like it can't handle the ram although it is and the motherboard just doesn't understand it. I'm tempted to update the BIOS, but with all the stories about it bricking motherboard it just freaks me out.

If there is a new bios update for your motherboard definitely do the update. If you are fearful about updating the bios at least get some you tube tutorials under your belt before you dive in. You will brick the board if you do not know what you are doing. If fear is extreme, leave the bios update alone. I still think you should keep your ram profile at the moment on auto. The difference in performance is minimal going from 2400 to 3200. You will have a care free system also.
