Good evening everyone hope everyone is doing okay. I am having a problem with trying to get my ram to run at the full 3200 MHz's I am using
Asus Prime B450M-A ll
Corsair Dominator Platinum 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3200MHz Memory CMT32GX4M2C3200C16
Ryzen 3 2200g CPU

When I put this set together according to the motherboard support list it shows its compatible with the ram and CPU even on the ram list on the support list shows the same number as the ram I posted. I am trying to get the ram to run at the 3200, I went into the BIOS and selected the DCOP profile and it shows the 3200 selected. I set the voltage to 1.35V but when I save and restarts it doesn't boot up. I will have to go back into the BIOS and reduce the RAM frequency and what I notice is that only time my PC boots up is when I set to 2933 MHz if I go anything over it doesn't boot.

Does this means that my ram is faulty or it's a board problem. By the way I just upgraded my motherboard bios about 2 days ago to see if that would fix anything but it's still the same thing anything over the 2933 it would not boot.

Forgot to mention I have the ram in the second and forth ram slots from the CPU
 
That CPU architecture only officially supports 2933 and the memory controllers are very hit and miss. Chances are that your CPU's memory controller is just unable to do 3200 assuming you're matching the XMP timings/using the XMP profile.
Okay thank you very much! I was viewing it all wrong I was only looking to see if they was was able to work with each other but never knew about what you just mentioned. Now that I go on the site for the CPU I see exactly what you just said.
 
I have another question how how do I get my cpu to run at its base speed. My cpu base speed is 3.5 but it only runs at 2.27
 
That seems pretty odd and I've not heard of one stuck at that speed. Usually if the boosting isn't working right it's down at a really low speed.

Does the CPU speed change at all or is it just permanently 2.27ghz?

Also what are you using to see the clockspeed?

HWMonitor is pretty good for checking all of the basic information and it will show min/max figures for while it's running.

Hello thank you for the reply. It does not go any higher than the 2.27 GHz. I have the power setting set to High Performance.
