Go into your BIOS, then enable XMP, that should give you the 3200Mhz.

I just did that and shortly after i boot up my PC, in my task manager it still says 2400MHz i dont know why?

 

[FelixAFF]

I already set my ram to 3200MHz in BIOS but it still stays at 2400MHz
Anyone care to help me with this problem?
I want to post a picture but i dont know how to because its always removed RAM POST (Maybe this will work?)

I'm not too familiar with the ASRock BIOS but there's usually an option to save and quit, did you do this before rebooting?

Yes i did, if you look at the link it looks like that somehow my ram is locked at 2400MHz idk why

I take it you bought RAM rated for 3200MHz, and did you overclock manually or use XMP, as it's known for not functioning correctly sometimes

i use the XMP 2.0 Profile

 

[Peiguy]

i use the XMP 2.0 Profile

I would turn that off and manually overclock

How to do that? I have no idea on how to overclock so your help would be much appreciated!

Is the exact model of the RAM you have listed on the Memory Compatibility list (QVL) on the support page for your MB or on the Corsair compatibility list for your MB.
If that exact kit model is not listed on either of those they are not guaranteed to run at their max rated speed.

I'm not familiar with ASRock's BIOS so i can't help you there, sorry

My ram is a V-GEN DDR4 Gaming RGB 3200MHz and its not listed in the Memory QVL.
Damn if i had this kind of knowledge 4 weeks ago my PC would have been a beast, Thank you for your information

But is there anyway i can overclock my RAM?

 

[DMAN999]

If the RAM kit you bought is not listed on the Memory Compatibility list on the support page for your MB or on the Memory Manufacturer's Compatibility list it may not work at it's rated speed and only run at the default speed.

Try using the DRAM Calculator and Taiphoon Burner (Google them).

Wait i just found out that my ram has XMP 2.0 Support. im so confused rn

 

[DMAN999]

If your MB manufacturer or the RAM manufacturer didn't test your exact model ram kit with your exact MB model it is not guaranteed to run any faster than the default MB ram speed.

The FIRST thing you NEED to do is go to the product page for your motherboard and check to see if there is a newer BIOS version available than what you currently have installed. IF there is, you need to update to the latest version. There will be instructions on the manufacturer's website plus there are tons of Youtube videos on how to update most board models or brands. Update and then try setting the XMP or DOCP profile all over again. Early BIOS versions had VERY POOR compatibility. More recent versions offer compatibility for most memory kits.

Also, if you need to post images here, read my guide on doing so. It will help you understand why you are unable to post images here.

I have a B450M Steel Legend Motherboard
And when i go to bios to set my ram profile to XMP 2.0 for 3200MHz but it kinda locks itself to 2400MHz, I checked the memory compatibility list and my ram is not listed but in my RAM box it says that its compatible for XMP 2.0 Profile so what do i do?
Do i have to buy another RAM that is listed or is there another way to access the 3200MHz speed

My RAM is a V.Gen DDR4 RGB 2x8 3200MHz

Update your bios before you try to enable a XMP profile...

Which slots do you have the memory in? If your in A1/B1 then try A2/B2.
