I purchased a new PC and attempted to overclock the memory and CPU. My processor is a Ryzen 5 1600. Many people set it to 3.9, so I adjusted it to 3.8. I kept the voltage unchanged and left it in auto mode. I switched the memory to XMP profile with a 3k maximum speed and 1.35V. My motherboard is an ASUS Prime B350 Plus. I’m worried because it won’t boot and I’m unsure what to do. I don’t know how to reset the CMOS or if there are any pins in the manual I should follow since there’s no jumper.

Clearing BIOS/CMOS is the solution for this problem.
If there is no jumper, you must fully shut down the PC, disconnect the power cord (following any further instructions in the manual), and then use a flat head screwdriver to touch both pins simultaneously with the tool, enabling electricity to pass between them.

So I took out my entire tower from all the cables, placed it on a bed, opened it up, and used the screwdriver where you instructed. Then I connected it again and started the presentation DLT. AND IT WORKED!!! I was really stressed and had misunderstood the manual. But I got a question about how to overclock the CPU since I couldn’t boot as described.

I also attempted to overclock once more, but it now emitted a three-beep signal. It seems the issue might be related to the RAM. I won't attempt further overclocking because I'm worried about potential damage.

If your overclock settings are not optimal, they may affect performance. I noticed you're using an ASUS board with a RYZEN CPU. Have you verified if the motherboard BIOS was updated? The original BIOS might not support RAM speeds beyond around 2400 MHz, though it could have handled up to 2133 MHz. I had to adjust this for my ROG B350-F motherboard and achieved 1700 MHz.

Ram is configured with the default value of 2133, which made me think 2666 would work too

Usually the default is set to 2133, but I thought 2666 would be okay.
If the bios is the original version, then even 2666 won't work.
