Question ram speed remain unchanged after bios settings

[ttgonzales]

Recently I came to the discovery that my ram is bottlenecking my CPU (ryzen 2700x) and I needed an upgrade. So I bought a Crucial 32Gb 3200mhz ram for my PC. I understand the ram is set at a lower point than it's advertised initially so I went into bios to change those settings. My motherboard is a B450 tomahawk and I turned on XMP on and saved my settings. 2 things would happen from here. 1st my computer wouldn't turn back on and freeze when it actually does. 2nd it works and I go back into bios and my ddr speed remains the same before the changes at 2667mhz rather than 3200 it was advertised. What am I doing wrong?

Latest Bios for your MB is 7C02v1E. there is a beta version 7C02v1H5 however at this stage don't use that.
To update the Bios download from here: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450-TOMAHAWK#down-bios

Power down the system and just have power to the MB.

You have flashback on your rear I/O panel so rename the file to MSI.ROM and transfer to a USB that is formatted to FAT32 single partition and insert it to the correct USB port as per your manual (page 22) then press the flashback button.
It will take a minute or two and when it stops flashing your done.

I've never updated my bios since I got it.

How do I update my bios?

You're still on Profile #2. Change to Profile #1.

I changed it to profile 1 but the same thing happened....

Have you removed the cmos battery at any time? Is + facing up?

I know you said correct slots are used but just to verify, which slots are you using?

Late response but my ram slots are in 2 and 4 and I never touched my cmos battery ever.
