Why is increasing RAM speed not possible during overclocking?

RAM: Patriot Viper 4 Blackout Series DDR4 16GB (4x8GB) at 3000MHz
MOBO: ASRock B450M Pro4 (compatible with DDR4 3200+ (OC))
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 (Memory Speed Spec: 2933MHz)
PSU: Corsair CX Series 450 Watt, 80+ Bronze Certified Modular Power Supply
SSD: TC SUNBOW New 480GB SSD
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1650 Super
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB Internal Hard Drive
The RAM speed is currently 2133MHz, but I aim for the maximum possible. However, adjusting it to 2933MHz doesn’t work because the CPU can’t handle that frequency. I’ve tried removing the CMOS battery for ten minutes and then reinserting it, but detection still fails. I suspect an issue with the settings or power configuration. The system remains active due to fans and RGB lighting.

DDR4 supports voltages as high as 1.6v, and going up to 1.4v or slightly higher is safe.

The CPU has the potential to operate at significantly higher speeds. Are you adjusting the memory speed using its XMP profile?

I attempt to but each time it causes my PC to fail to start and prevent saving. What is the maximum CPU capacity?

It seems unstable at 3200, so it reverts to the default speed.

I configure it at 3000 since that's the maximum RAM capacity, but it fails to save data and prevents the system from powering up, so I need to remove the CMOS battery to restore it.

I notice you're now using four sticks, attempting at 3000 but increasing the voltage by 0.02 volts and trying again.

I received the XMP profile at 3000Mhz and reduced the voltage to 1.300 instead of 1.350. It starts up without removing the CMOS, but the RAM speed remains at 2133.

Increase the voltage to 1.37 following the adjustment to 3000.

I can only move in steps of .050, which means I can't adjust it to 1.37. I also believe the issue might be related to a 1.35v setting causing the computer not to power on after the change.
