I just built my new PC and everything went fine, but my 2 Ram sticks are stuck at 2133.
The first thing I did after building it was to upgrade the Bios, the latest version is 7C02v121(Beta version). I have the B450 Tomahawk Mobo, Ryzen 5 2600 and 2 8gb Sticks of G.Skill RipjawsV DDR4-3200MHz.

I tried OC the ram at even lower speeds but I kept getting a black screen, pc boots but does not post and had to reset cmos.

Does anyone have any experience with the particular build? I'm sure I can get above 2133 with those parts. Is it because the Bios is a beta version? Do I have to do anything else besides activating the xmp profiles and choosing my ram speed (voltage, etc.) ?
 


Be sure to try both XMP settings...my DIMM's only work at rated speed on XMP2. But if that still doesn't work basic overclocking advice is to set all parameters (be sure to turn XMP off) manually and set the DIMM voltage to 1.40. That's probably higher than they recommend but once it boots and you feel it's stable you can start to dial it back down some.
