Hello, I'm having trouble getting my new RAM to reach the full speed of 3200MHz. I've tried setting it in BIOS with XMP at 2666MHz, but that doesn't work. The ASRock Timing Config tool helps adjust timing, but the settings are confusing. Even with the clock speeds listed for both your and the RAM kits, I'm not sure what to do. I've spent a lot of time checking online guides and specs, but it seems like I might have wasted money on the high-speed kit. Could you help me figure this out?

B-series stays at 2666 for this model. Using four sticks will add significant stress on your memory controller. Suggest using a 2666 setup with the most restrictive clock speeds available to ensure reliability.
