Why cant I overclock my ram?
CountMike's thoughts on processor speeds and memory compatibility.
That's limitation with processors with single IMC (Internal Memory Controller) with 2 memory channels, it's difficult/impossible to run at higher speeds when all channels are used. Only server CPUs are good at that, problem is not limited to Ryzen or AMD only but all processors including Intel.
Get 2x8GB sticks and you'll get your full speed out of them.
