Hello, I currently have a Ryzen 5 2600 on a Asus B450m Tuf pro gaming

I have 4 sticks of teamgroup tforce tuf vulcan 8Gb 3200mhz.. I am currently running it on the max frequency that's said on the r5 2600 specs, but when I try to overclock it to 3200mhz using DOCP, my pc gets BSOD..
Current PC Specs:

Ryzen 5 2600
ASUS B450m tuf pro gaming
4x8 Tforce tuf vulcan 3200mhz
rx 570

Maybe somebody here could help me. Thanks in advance! Any help would mean a lot! :)

Running a dual rank 4x8GB configuration higher than 3000 with a Ryzen 2000 CPU usually requires a lot of memory timing tweaks to make it stable. Most motherboards use daisy chain memory slot topology because it's usually cheaper to manufacture and expensive $200+ motherboards are more likely to have T topology memory slots.

You would need a motherboard with T topology to have a better chance at running 4x8GB at 3200+ with Ryzen 2000. If you run a dual rank configuration using 2x16GB, you have a far better chance of running 3200 or higher on cheaper daisy chain motherboards.
