[SOLVED] Why won't my RAM Speed go up when overclocking ?

[shirokxi]

RAM: Patriot Viper 4 Blackout Series DDR4 16GB (4x8GB) 3000MHz
MOBO: ASRock B450M Pro4 (Supports DDR4 3200+ (OC))
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 (System Memory Specification: 2933MHz)
PSU: Corsair CX Series 450 Watt 80+ Bronze Certified Modular Power Supply
SSD: TC SUNBOW New 480GB SSD
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1650 Super
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB Internal Hard Drive HDD

The speed of my RAM normally is 2133, but I want to raise it up to as fast as possible. But when I do, it makes my computer not detected and it doesn't change it to the highest setting, so when I get my PC back up, it's back to 2133. Am I doing something wrong? I'm changing it to 2933MHz instead of 3000 because the CPU doesn't go that high. I tried taking out the CMOS battery for 10 minutes then putting it back in but sometimes it still doesn't detect it. I know the PC is on because of the fans and RGB being on.

Cpu can go much higher, are you setting memory speed by it's XMP profile ?

I try to but every time I do, It makes my PC not turn on and it doesn't save. How high can the CPU go?

Try it at 2933 or 3000.
Sounds like it's not stable at 3200 so its resetting back to default speed.

I do set it at 3000 because that's how high the RAM goes but it doesn't save and it makes my computer not turn on so I have to remove the CMOS battery to reset it

I see that now and your using 4 sticks try it at 3000 but bump the voltage up 0.02 volts and try it again.

I got the XMP profile to 3000Mhz and I lowered the voltage to 1.300 instead of 1.350 and it boots up without me having to take out the CMOS, but the RAM speed is still 2133

Raise the voltage to 1.37 after setting it to 3000.

Raise the voltage to 1.37 after setting it to 3000.

I can only go in intervals of .050 so I can't put it to 1.37. I also think that 1.35v is the reason why my computer doesn't turn on after changing it.

DDR4 can take upwards of 1.6v so even 1.4v or a tad more wouldn't hurt.

Test with 1.4 volt and additionally SOC-voltage to 1.1. It will not cause any harm.

if OK---> keep it.
if NOK ---> something else must be the cause( don't know what).
