Hey guys and thanks in advance for taking the time to look at my post.

My Build:
Ryzen 5 1600 3.7 OC @ 1.24v
MSI B350 Gaming Pro
RX 580 8G
G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 3200 DDR4 (It is listed in the MB compatibility as 3200OC+)

My problem is this:

I cant get this RAM to run at 3200. Ive tried it by using MSI auto settings which found the correct timings but the computer wouldn't start. Ive reset the bios and when I try to go into MSI's bios I cant manually change the values for the timings on the RAM, it just stays greyed out on Auto. So I'm stuck with RAM at 2133 speed.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

Many people have a hard time getting Ryzen's memory controller to run any faster than 2933MT/s and AMD itself only guarantees up to 2666MT/s when running a single single-rank (single side) DIMM per channel.

If you haven't updated your motherboard's BIOS to the newest version, you may want to start with that as many motherboards had very limited RAM tuning capabilities with their launch-day BIOS on top of poor memory stability beyond 2666MT/s.

If you are not going to update the BIOS you will have to live with the slower RAM speeds.

You could try getting gskil fortis which is certified to run at 3200 on both your motherboard and by gskil.

Not so much a solution, but similar issue. I have an r5 1600 with 16 GB (8x2) Corsair Vengeance LPX @ 2666. Bios version 810 (Aug 2017, latest update) and Just updated windows with Fall Creators update. Computer tries to post 3 times, third time going to safe mode to press f1 to enter bios.
