So for a good week or so, I've been having multiple different BSODs so I've been looking around in my bios and I have come to realize that my ram is seriously underclocked. I'm talking like a full gigahertz underclocked. So I did some research and I found out that my motherboard supports 2133mhz. I miss read the box. Cause it says 3200mhz but overclocked. So I tried overclocking my dram and I forgot to set voltage so I couldn't boot. So I cleared cmos and now I'm here. Anyone have any idea how to correctly overclock dram?

Ram: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32gb 3200 MHz
Motherboard: asus z270g
Cpu: 6700k (I had this from an old build)

Thanks in advanced!

You can try to enable XMP profile in BIOS but 3200 is a streatch with that processor. Without overclocking the CPU.
Your memory defaulted to 2133 just like it should.
If XMP fails then manually set the timings, and voltage as to the memory specks but set the speed to 3000. If that fails then do the same thing but bump the voltage up by 0.02 volts.
