im using a ryzen 5 2400g, asus b450m-a mobo and 16gb vengence 3000mhz ram, the DOCP set the ram timing automatically thank god because i have no idea with that, the docp also states the memory as 3000 but after setting it as the active profile and rebooting the memory status still says 2100mhz even though the DOCP is still active and says 3000, there is no overclock on the cpu, i've read i may need to OC the cpu to get the memory benefits, but have also read that my mobo doesnt have very good VRMs and can't handle much overclocking, can someone point me to some safe overclock profiles for this setup please

When it displays 1500MHz, it operates at an effective speed of 3000MHz due to being DDR memory, which is acceptable.

I saw it mentioned in 2100.

It needs to be 2133MHz which is the base speed for DDR4. Besides that, you must adjust the RAM frequency after setting DOCP. That means set DOCP to 3000 and memory to 3000 so it will stick.

XMP profiles may become a bit complicated on AMD systems. It's suggested to enter the BIOS, switch to manual settings, and adjust the XMP parameters yourself.

sorry yes i meant to put 2133, i couldn't find anywhere in my bios to actually adjust the memory clock speed except in the docp, and i have no idea what timings or voltage to set it on, i just realized that when i check the speed in task manager it's 1500mhz, any idea why it's showing three different memory speeds?

Thank you for clarifying the meaning of DDR.
