Trying to get 3200MHz on msi board

[seangerman7]

I just built a pc with ryzen 1700x, B350 gaming pro carbon, 16GB gskill ram.

I cannot for the life of me get the ram to run at the right speeds (3200). I turned on game boost and A-XMP and the DRAM settings say "adjusted dram freq 3200mhz". At the top where it says DDR speed it says 2133. In CPU-Z it tells me dram freq is 1066.4mhz. If anyone has done this on the msi carbon please guide me. Pictures of bios and cpu-z.

Maybe try profile 1 and manual for the multiplier, which you can put at 32. If it works, you will notice it will say 1600MHz in CPUZ.

CPU-Z will always show half speed of your RAM, as for the overclock, try manual tuning.

Set DRAM frequency from auto to 3200MHz

Where do I go to manually adjust each setting? You think turn off A-XMP?

Just tried that and it comes up as 1066 in CPUZ still.

Same thing. Looks right in BIOS but it doesn't stick.

Use updated CPU-Z version 1.82

Use updated CPU-Z version 1.82

New version says the same. 1066mhz

Use updated CPU-Z version 1.82

Are you only using CPU-Z to check RAM speeds? Try the standard windows task manager aswell.

task manager says speed 2133MHz. Shouldn't manually adjusting things in the BIOS force the change?

Aslong as you save those settings yes they should always show in boot. I dont know of any RAM overclock software but if for some reason you have found ram overclock software, disable and uninstall that. If changes are not being seen then manually enter the speeds and settings you want into a specific profile on your mobo if supported then try again.

Update motherboard's bios and reset bios afterwards

I got it to 2666 but it wont get any higher. Should I just swap it for g skill trident or something known to be compatible at 3200MHz?

Have a look at the memory qvl compatibility list of the motherboard
