You haven't installed XMP in your BIOS. Therefore, it was configured to 2400. During overclocking, the settings include A-XMP with two profiles for DDR4 3200 at 16-16-18-36.

I wouldn't use XMP on this board. Look for the timing options labeled 'Just try these' a few rows down in the OC menu. Pick the one with your timings but change the value to 3600 instead of 3200. If it's a decent option, it should boot up.

If he agrees to undergo those stability tests, he must also raise the IF speed to 1800.

2133 MHz compatible with Ryzen. 2400 works at 16, 18, 38 and above voltage levels.

For maximum speed across nearly the whole board with minimal stutter, choose 3600 (minus 3800) DDR4. Set the clock at budget 3200c16-18 RAM or opt for a 3600c18-20/22 configuration. Maintain CPU voltage at -0.1V, with both 2 VDDGs at 0.950V, using VDDP (DDR4 bus) in auto mode. Enable core boost/Fmax, keep PBO fully open with AMD limits defined. Turn off TMSE and virtualization unless it's a sensitive situation or you don't require Virtual PCs.

I don't use it since it triggers a blue screen that Windows can't manage, and I can't boot into Windows without turning it off.

You have grasped the concept accurately. The online listing shows the potential frequency you can reach through XMP or overclocking, but the real stable speed will be lower.

That's what I was worried about happening.

The manufacturer claims stability at certain frequencies and speeds for Intel's memory controller, typically around 1.35 V under normal conditions. Considered a different scenario is Jedec operating at 1.2 V for comparison. I reviewed some auto overclock configurations on my MSI B450 board, which still maintain very broad refresh cycles (tRC 75 and tRFC 560), making them manageable for AMD systems. Something seems incorrect there, honestly. Save your BIOS, revert everything to defaults, restart into BIOS, enable A-XMP, then restart again. If that doesn't work, try setting the DRAM voltage to 1.4V.
