I haven't entered bios or adjusted any settings yet. I'm really nervous about overclocking and risking damage.

It's causing stutter and lag.
What’s the concern? You haven’t mentioned the issue, only that you didn’t change anything. Regarding your RAM, simply open BIOS and turn on XMP/DOCP settings. This should let it operate at its rated speed without any danger.
Your processor likely operates at the standard 2133 or 2400 MHz in BIOS settings. Check for XMP/DOCP options and choose 3200 MHz from the available list. If that doesn't resolve the issue, revisit BIOS and pick 2933 MHz or 3000 MHz—whichever is lower than 3200 MHz. This adjustment may improve gaming performance by about 2-3%.
