I'm facing a tough situation with my PC's RAM stability. It's been about five weeks since the build, and I'm struggling to get it to run smoothly enough for any frequency adjustments. The BIOS is set to version 3003, which is the latest from ASUS, and all AMD drivers are up-to-date. Windows updates are current too. My RAM is stuck at DDR4-1833mhz in BIOS, and I can't boot with any other speed. I've tried enabling the D.O.C.P. memory profile 1, which set my timings to CL16-18-18-18-38 @1.35V—these match the recommended specs on the RAM sticks. I'm unsure what else might be causing the instability and would really appreciate any advice or insights about my setup. Thank you in advance!

Remove the CPU, reset the battery via CMOS, reinstall it and attempt again. It should operate at a minimum of 2133MHz.

Consider testing with two sticks initially; it might not be ideal for memory performance. Also, use the DRAM calculator for Ryzen to perform manual overclocking.

you have an incompatibility issue, get different rams. This is from NewEgg on product page:

Review the compatibility list on your motherboard for this RAM type. If the brand and model aren't listed, it could be a mismatch. Generally, standard clock speed for DDR4 is around 2133 MHz. That number seems unusual—consider running Memtest86 to detect any issues. Check if the system runs smoothly with the default settings; instability might point to faulty RAM or other hardware problems.

The issue has been resolved completely. The B450-F Gaming Motherboard now works with your 3200mhz RAM kit on QVL, even though the Ryzen 7 only supports up to 2666mhz without any problems. The board was incorrectly advertised as compatible with that frequency. I’ve switched to the ASUS Prime X470-PRO and everything is running smoothly on DOCP memory profile 1 with the specified timings and voltages. Just remember to verify compatibility for your exact processor, RAM, and motherboard combination. Especially important with Zen+ Ryzen chips—some models still face frequency limits even with updated BIOS. Thanks!
