I’ve had this issue for more than 2 years where my ram won’t go or be stable above 2400 even then sometimes will run into BSOD because of it.
Specs:
R7 2700x
Xfx RX580 8gb
32gb 3200 CORSAIR - VENGEANCE RGB PRO (4x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz C16
Cx550w psu by Corsair
Mobo- ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING II

I’ve tried everything I can think of
-xmp
-updating bios
-Manually putting in timings
-reset cmos
-putting it one lower or even multiple lower but isn’t stable/wont boot
-Clean w11 install

Any help would be appreciated
 
Zen+ is rated to DDR4-2933 only for two sticks. Going to 4 sticks puts a much greater load on the memory controller, particularly if each stick is a dual-rank DIMM (which for some boards is an unsupported configuration), so you have to expect lower stable speeds at any voltage.

Fortunately you have an overclocker's board with voltage adjustments. I suggest trying a lot more voltage than you think you need with 4 sticks, before resorting to a different kit. The memory controller is still subject to the silicon lottery even with the latest BIOS/AGESA, but you should at least be able to run 2933 at default voltage when only using two sticks.
