Hello everyone,
This is my initial PC build, and I’m just starting out with overclocking. The internet seems to be full of advice, but it’s quite confusing with so many different guides.

Here’s what I have set up:
- 1600x running at 3.7Ghz with an A Kraken x52 cooler
- Gigabyte AX 370 gaming 5 Bio F8
- Two 8GB Corsair Vegeance LPX 3200Mhz DIMMs at 288
- Gigabyte Gaming GTX 1080
- Corsair RM750i PSU

My RAM is currently stuck at only 2100Mhz. Over the past few months I’ve attempted to increase its speed multiple times, but without success. I’ve used BIOS settings and Ryzen Master, and while the CPU has stayed stable at around 4Ghz, it reverts back to normal speeds when I lower it.

I’m hoping someone can assist me in getting my RAM to run faster.

So I've reset the BIOS again (took out the CMOS battery and pressed the reset button).
Now using the XMP profile 1 at 3200Mhz seems to be working.
I tried this before and it didn't work.
