[SOLVED] why is my 3600mhz ram running at 2600 mhz

[AnswerMe787]

I bought 4 stcks of ddr4 ram 8gb each made by adata spectrix rgb 3600 mhz but why is it running at 2600 mhz no matter how I tweak it in the bios??? I have an Arorus x570 mother board.

Arorus x570 what? There is an Elite, Master, Xtreme etc.

Elite is the one I got.

It won't work with 4 sticks at 3600Mhz, the max with 4 sticks I have seen is 2933Mhz.

Running 2 sticks is much easier on the CPU.

Try 2933Mhz and see if it boots.

Thank you very much for clearing things up for me.

Your motherboard does not officially support G.Skill memory kits rated at 3600MHz ram running (according to Gigabyte's memory QVLs). It is likely that your memory isn't identified correctly, and hence the board defaults to the JEDEC standard (which is 2133 mhz as seen in your image).

Several BIOS updates have been released since the latest QVL document, my first step would be to update the BIOS and see if that helps. Based on the information you have provided it is difficult to provide other advice - issues with memory still seem to be somewhat common on Ryzen platforms, you might have to dig deep for a definite solution
