Are these speeds permanent?
I tried overclocking my AMD Ryzen 2600 CPU after watching several videos. They all began at 4.0 Ghz. I had DOCP enabled (XMP on Asus) and an Arctic 34 Esports Duo, which appears to be a decent air cooler. After setting the clock speeds to 4.0 Ghz, I saved and restarted my machine to verify everything was working. Even though the CPU speeds remained unchanged, my RAM dropped back to 2133 MHz (I have 3200 MHz). I reset the CPU overclock again, but the RAM speed stayed at 2133 MHz. Someone could help me with this problem?
Checking Bios configurations is useful when you provide complete system details such as your memory specifications.
Understanding what the system performs with default settings is important.
Ensuring your Bios is current is essential for optimal performance.
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
Motherboard: Asus Prime X470-Pro
Ram: G Skill Ripjaws V Series 16 GB, 3200 MHZ
Part No: F4-3200C16D-16GVGB
I haven't performed a stress test at the default setting and am facing issues updating my BIOS. The file is saved as a .CAP but I'm unsure how to install it.
Your Bios is best updated using EZ Flash 3 utility, Using an empty single partition USB stick and formatted to FAT32.
Your Bios file needs to be renamed to PX470P.CAP and instructions are on page 3-22 in your MB manual.
Latest Bios is 5007 (important for new RAM kit releases)
Your GVGB variant Ripjaws are not listed on the MB QVL so have not been tested however they should work with correct Bios settings. Probably because the QVL has not been recently updated.
Don't concern yourself if your RAM default to a lower than rated frequency atm. That will be because 3200MHz RAM are OC RAM and will require manual settings for SPD Timings and voltage.
If the system boots at default then conduct a stress test to obtain a base line for when you Overclock and also to establish stability.
Best stress package to use is AIDA64. If not sure how to use it then better explanations will be given.
Establish stability and we can move on and please list your cooling system and PSU
I just installed the latest BIOS updates and reset everything to the default settings. The system started up and Aida 64 began a stress test, which I plan to let continue for about eight hours unless something goes wrong (as some online sources suggested limiting it to 6-12 hours). My setup includes an Nzxt H500 case, an Arctic 34 Esports Duo CPU cooler, and two stock fans—one at the back and one on top—but no additional intake fans. The power supply I’m using is a Corsair CXM 750 W 80+ Bronze unit.
Don't need to run AIDA64 for long, 10 minutes should suffice now.
I'm looking for your Voltages on the 12vRail and temperature readings under load.
These can be retrieved from AIDA64 or more accurately from HWInfo64.
I typically set them up side by side. Capture screenshots at the 10-minute mark and upload the images to IMGUR, then share the BB URL as a link to your files.
Your current setup indicates the 12V rail is below specifications and may lead to problems during higher overclocks. For better temperature monitoring at T-DIE, HWInfo64 provides more accurate readings. You should still have enough information for some advice. Your overclock potential will be limited; improving case fans by adding two 140mm or larger fans front and rear can enhance airflow. If you're serious about overclocking, consider AIO water cooling as the next step.
Open Bios > AI Tweaker and switch to manual mode (settings may vary for your OC but VDDCR voltage should be set to 1.375V). Apply your multiplier settings starting at 3.8MHz, then 4.00GHz, and perform a stress test. Share your findings—see if your system can handle the load before focusing on RAM.
Completed a 3.8 GHZ overclock and moved to 4 GHZ. Tested for 10 minutes.

Completed 4.0 Ghz. Observed on HWInfo Analytics that the Physical Memory Load is red, possibly causing the system to operate below optimal speed.
