So I know that Ryzen is having some issues getting RAM to run to their full capacity, but some people have got theirs working fine and others overclock it I guess. For me, I have G.Skill Ripjaws 3000mhz ram, 16gb in 2 8gb sticks. My motherboard has 4 DIMM slots and I've been told that A2 + B2 is the best combination for speed with what I have. I had them both in A1 and A2 originally, but even moving them to A2 + B2, I'm still only getting 2100mhz speed out of them. I didn't expect 3000 right away until some patches came out, but I thought I'd at least hit 2600 or something.

So I thought maybe I could achieve it through overclocking for the time being, but I can't get it to work, so I thought I'd ask for help. Here's a screenshot of what my bios screen looks like for the RAM options.

The only option not fitting in the screen is the XMP option, to load that profile. It doesn't work, if I turn on XMP, the motherboard just beeps at me 5 times and then restarts and I have to default settings to load up Windows properly.

I've tried increasing the DRAM voltage all the way to 1.5 and it doesn't want to go. XMP defaults the DRAM voltage at 1.35, by the way.

Is there anything else I can do to get it working right?
 
there is very little you can do at this point. First off though look in the motherboards owners manual and put your Ram sticks in the slots they recommend for running dual channel mode. Anything over 2666 MHz is only going to work in 2 slots and not 4 occupied slots so make sure you only use 2 memory sticks.

The new AGESA Update has been sent to the manufactures so it wont be much ;longer before they put out the BIOS updates to help with memory support. Hang in there about a month or so longer and you should be seeing the updates rolling out.

have a read of this article and see if it will help you: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/overclocking-amd-ryzen,5011.html
It does cover ram so a good read for you.
