[SOLVED] overclocking ram

[Yukoncorny]

I have an ASUS AM4 TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi) ATX Motherboard with PCIe 4.0, Dual M.2, 12+2 with Dr. MOS Power Stage, HDMI, DP, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.2 Gen 2 and Aura Sync RGB Lighting motherboard and 3200mhz ram listed on the qvl list.

When I go into DOCP settings and enable profile 1 it says I have 3200 mhz ram everywhere but where it lists my dimm slots. There it still says 2666mhz. When I run memchk it says 3600mhz. Is my ram running at 3200mhz or 2666mhz? If at 2666mhz, how do I get it to 3200 mhz?

Are the dimm slot numbers just showing me the default speed while the numbers above and below showing me the actual speed the ram is running at?

check in windows using the tool cpu-z (should be showing 1600MHz)

2666 is probably the default JDEC speed for the memory...3200 is what the manufacturer says the memory will run at if the voltage/timings is set correctly. You'll have to grab something like CPU-Z or HWinfo64 to see the memorys current setting in Windows...don't forget to divide your optioned speed by 2 since it's DDR ram.
