You just purchased the Colorful cvn b450 Gaming V14, but your RAM isn’t reaching 3200MHz even though it’s listed in the BIOS. Instead, it caps at 2933MHz and crashes when you try higher. Here’s what might be happening: check if your motherboard supports that frequency, ensure the RAM is compatible, and verify BIOS settings. Also, make sure your power supply can handle the load—this machine is powerful but not overly demanding. If you’re unsure, consult a tech support person or a reliable online forum.

The question asks about the location of the RAM stick, but no specific details were provided. Please clarify or provide more context so I can assist you accurately.

The CPU memory controller threshold is set at 2933mhz. This means you'll need to manually adjust the overclock settings to reach it. Possible options include adjusting timing, increasing voltage, or tweaking the SOC voltage. (Note: The adjustment might be a small SOC voltage change—research further.)

Consult the motherboard's guide to find out its correct placement. It's often the second slot next to the CPU, though your model might vary.

The first position on the left is A1, meaning the RAM slot isn't the issue.

In this scenario, your motherboard or CPU's IMC might be restricting the performance you can achieve. Consider raising the SOC voltage. If that doesn't work, you may need to accept a clock speed of 2933Mhz.

Voltage reaches its peak at 1.35V, so it seems I should lock in 2933MHz.

Keep it moderate. The safe upper limit is around 1.2V, while 1.1V is the usual range. AFAIK.
