Hi, your recent upgrade includes two RAM sticks and you're wondering if enabling A-XMP is suitable for the current specs.

It's worth giving it a shot. Early Ryzen CPUs often require careful RAM setup. Make sure you've updated your BIOS before proceeding, as this will help with the fastest memory support. You should also run MEMTEST86 during the night to confirm everything is stable before starting any critical tasks.

The motherboard claims compatibility with 3200, which suggests it's probably safe to attempt. Based on my own observations, 29xx seems ideal for the first generation and offers stability. Results may vary.

I'm afraid to update my BIOS because I already did that in the first place and I followed a tutorial too even that I already updated BIOS on my old pc and I knew how to do it, after that my pc was starting but my monitor no and I had to send my pc to guarantee and they put a new motherboard so I'm afraid a little

Don't worry, just refresh the bios to the newest or latest beta version. Updating the chipset driver from the AMD website should work well. In fact, my friend's R5 2600 with B450M Steel Legend received the latest bios including AGESA 1.2.0.3c, along with improved memory compatibility fixes (not mentioned on the webpage). After the update, he could run 3200 easily without any issues before then.

Visit the motherboard website, support, and downloads sections. There you'll discover the BIOS files tailored for your specific model and detailed instructions on updating the BIOS. Please adhere strictly to the provided steps. BIOS updates are frequent, particularly with Ryzen due to RAM compatibility changes with Agesa, making them more effective and dependable now than they were years ago. After the update, attempt the A-Xmp feature; it should function properly, though there are no guarantees for the first-gen Ryzen systems. If issues persist after several reboots (memory training), manually set the A-Xmp and adjust the speed to 2933MHz.

Thank you all for your assistance
I might consider updating the bios, but I remain concerned about this situation

You don't necessarily have to install the newest BIOS for the first generation; whether an update is worthwhile depends on the version you currently use. A newer BIOS might enhance memory compatibility in some cases, but since you're running "on-spec" for your CPU at 2667, you're adequately covered. You might try enabling a-XMP and checking if it functions at 3200; otherwise, simply resetting the CMOS is straightforward. I'm uncertain about this on an A320 platform, but if your motherboard supports setting XMP, you could manually adjust the memory clock to 2933 for the optimal performance of the first generation. If you plan to upgrade later—say to a 3600X with its advanced memory controller—you may need to update the BIOS then. A 3600X would likely allow you to utilize your 3200 speed simply by setting XMP.

Sure, you're thinking about swapping the CPU next time, possibly a Ryzen 5 2600 or 3600.
