Can't get my RAM on XMP speeds!

Hello
Please read the ENTIRE post as there is a lot I have already done!

 

SPECS THAT MATTER:
Ryzen 3700X
Gigabyte x570 Aorus Elite
2x 16 GB Corsair LPX 3200mhz CL16 1.35v | CMK32GX4M2B3200C16

 

MY PROBLEM:
Can’t get my RAM higher than 2999mhz on cl 16 1.35V. 

 

WHAT I HAVE DONE ALREADY:
- Tried XMP 3200mhz 16/18/18 1.35V. It rebooted.
- Tried non-XMP 3200 mhz 16/18/18 1.35V. It rebooted.
- At 1.4V 16/18/18/39 - I got 3066 mhz MAX | Tried -> 3100 mhz = BIOS reboot
- Lowest was 1.36V 16/17/17/38 - 2926 mhz | 1.35V = BIOS reboot

 

IMPORTANT INFO:
Bios has been updated to latest version | F5b
Ram is placed on the correct lanes. A2 and B2
Ram is on the motherboard supported list. 

 

 

I thought I could maybe OC this kit to 3600 mhz for the ryzen sweetspot, but I can't get higher than 2933mhz.. 
Anyone have any suggestions on what i should do?

Up your SOC voltage. Ryzen has been known to like a bit higher SOC voltages to properly feed the RAM. You are safe to increase it up to 1.2v for 24/7 usage, though try and minimize it as much as possible. I personally run mine at 1.15v on my x370 Crosshair VI Hero with my 3700x.

The VCORE SOC or the PM_1VSOC?

I tried 1.15v VCORE SOC, but my ram can't even get 3066mhz.

Is there a DRAM Boot Voltage (or something similarly named) in your BIOS?  I assume most boards would have this sorted by now, but if it is there perhaps it isn't getting set to the 1.35V (or whatever your DRAM Voltage is set to) and is remaining at 1.2V.
