I recently acquired a CORSAIR Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4 16 GB 3200 MHz CL16 kit for my Gigabyte B450 AORUS Pro and Ryzen 7 2700X. I've faced stability problems with the XMP profile, often needing to increase the voltage to achieve any stable performance. According to the motherboard manual, the chipset supports speeds up to 2933, 2667, 2400, and 2133. Could this be the reason for the instability? It seems some users report success with higher-speed RAM on similar chipsets, but it’s possible your setup isn’t quite compatible.

The issue isn't with the motherboard, I'm confident about that. The real problem lies in the compatibility of the AMD RAM. Consider setting it up manually.

The compatibility with RAM isn't great since I was able to increase the speed to a high of 3,200MHz on a Ryzen 5 2600. When I increased the speed, the voltage rose slightly from 1.350 to around 1.4 or more. You might need to adjust the voltage manually.

You adjusted the timing manually and increased the voltage from 1.35 to 1.37 on the stock XMP profile. Consider setting it at 1.4 for a more robust value.

Start by checking your RAM specifications and confirm compatibility. Usually, the motherboard will adjust the voltage automatically.
