question regarding motherboard memory compatibility

I recently got a kit of CORSAIR Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4 16 GB 3200 MHz CL16 (16-18-18-36) in my Gigabyte B450 AORUS Pro and Ryzen 7 2700X, and have had issues of instability with the xmp profile and can only get it stable'ish buy raising the voltage. 

 

my question is in my motherboard manual it says it supports speeds up to 2933, 2667, 2400, and 2133, is this why its not stable? because i have seen reviews were ppl are using high speed ram on the b450 chipsets no problem, or is my ram just faulty?

There is not any problem with the mobo, i am pretty sure.

It is the AMD RAM compatibility issue.

Try to set it manually.

It should not be much of a RAM compatibility as I managed to bump my ram speed up to its high 3,200MHz speed on a Ryzen 5 2600, as for the RAM issue when I bumped up the speed the voltage did go slightly higher automatically from 1.350 to like 1.4 or something I dont remember, you may need to push the voltage.

hmm i have entered the timing manually and bumped voltage from 1.35 to 1.37 from the stock xmp profil, maybe i should just slam it too 1.4?

Hmm I'd first recommend doing some research on your RAM and make sure its supported, generally the motherboard should automatically change the voltage for you.
