I purchased a PC from CyberPowerPC last December, but now I'm realizing my RAM is only running at 2133MHz instead of the 3200MHz I intended. My receipt and the RAM sticks both list 3200MHz, yet my BIOS shows 2133MHz. I've tried adjusting it myself, but the BIOS keeps blocking me from booting and insisting on changes. After clearing the BIOS settings, it still displays 2133MHz. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this without causing a system crash? The build I'm using is bQ2fJb.

I'll attempt it once more, but I believe that was the reason for the issues during gameplay.

Check if xmp/docp is available; if not, identify the compatible CPU and board model.

Run memtest86 with XMP on. Stability issues at 3200Mhz CL16 are uncommon on Coffee Lake.

Verify placement in slots 2 and 4. If correct, adjust VCC and SA voltage to 1.1-0.2, DRAM to 1.35, then try 3000/3200 and check stability using tools like memtest86 or OCCT for examples.
