Brand new build I just finished up yesterday so I can play games with my boy. I did a Google search and read that I may need to enable features in BIOS in order to achieve the full speed of my memory. I went to BIOS and everything is set correctly from what I can tell. Not sure if it will even make a performance difference, but figured if I paid for it, I should be getting it.

Asus B550M-A
Ryzen 5 3600
T-Force RAM 2x8gb @3000mhz
Seasonic 560 PSU
GTX 1070 8gb.

CPUZ reads that my memory is running @ 1197.6mhz
BIOS is showing that my speeds are set to run at 3000mhz unless I am overlooking something. My memory is set in slots A1 and B1 as per recommended from Asus.
 
Solution
Ram go in the gray slots, a2/b2. Xmp will default to 2133 in the other two slots.

Can you share screenshots of cpuz spd and memory tabs please.
