For reference, my system uses a Ryzen 5 2600 with 16GB of 3600 DDR4 RAM. I upgraded from the original 2666 configuration. Initially, I didn’t realize CPU RAM speeds were limited, so 3600 wasn’t functioning properly. Now I’m aiming for the maximum speed but encounter issues with the BIOS—when I manually select a higher RAM speed it doesn’t show up. After resetting the CMOS, everything seems to work, yet I want to optimize my RAM and return closer to the 2666 setup.
You tested a high frequency of 3200 MHz on a Ryzen 5 2600. It seems possible to reach 3600 but may require careful tweaking. Consider enabling XMP only and avoid changing other settings. Keep adjusting timings and speeds until stable performance is achieved. Aim for at least 3200 MHz as the maximum possible.
I only suggested how to go back to 2666 (Manually) because that is what the OP asked on how to go back to it in his last sentence. I did state " Setting the xmp profile should not give you issues either" as an alternative option. In that running the xmp profile should be fine. (Even if the OP is not using 2666). I do not know which xmp profiles he has listed in their bios. Your response was " Try just turning XMP on and not modifying any other settings" which appears that you are agreeing with me. Sigh.
