Hey guys I am having an issue with my ram while overclocking basically on my bios to oc ram I have to enable XMP profiles and my ram is rated at 3200mhz and I have tried same timings as recommended by corsair but it does not boot the interesting part is that it wont boot on any frequency or any timinings I've tried the lowest possible and as long as xmp is enabled it wont boot. without xmp enabled I am running 2033mhz. I even tried running that speed and lower and it wont boot tried different voltages and nothing. my cpu is overclocked at 4.1ghz stable at 1.45v , bios is latest update I've tried disabling dram shutdown aswell no luck please help thank you.

You may not get a first generation Ryzen chip on a 320 motherboard to reach 3200. Official support is 2666. I'd suggest trying 2933/3000 which is more realistic for your setup. Also, make sure you have the latest bios for your motherboard. Many bios update relate to memory compatibility.

Hey yes I have the latest bios, Ive ran them before at 3200mhz but now its when I enable xmp it don't boot at any speed even at 1899 or 2133 that it runs on auto. that is my issue the xmp when enabled at any speed any voltage any timings just wont boot :(
its a ab350m mobo it says on asrock website it supports these exact sticks at 3200mhz rated speed, I feel like I am missing a crucial setting or something
