Can't get my PC to boot with anything but default memory speed.

DRAM speeds and timing are my absolute nemesis. I think I also lucked out by having a board that doesn't make things easy. 

 

I got my old RAM kit to work at above the 2133 speed that the UEFI defaults to, but it was only 3000 Mhz RAM and only running at 2666. I recently upgraded, and I can't get my new (and much better) kit to run at faster than 2133. I have tried to use the Ryzen calculator and everything, but I'm not good at this piece at all. HELP PLEASE!

 

Here's my setup: 

ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming motherboard

Ryzen 7 2700X CPU (I took the OC off when trying to get the memory to work, so it's running at its stock 3.7 GHz)

Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB DDR4 (4 x 8 kit), 3600 MHz, 16-18-18-36

 

I think those are the relevant specs, but let me know if anything else is needed. I just want decent memory speeds. I don't even need the 3600.

You're having issues for a couple of reasons and not your fault.

Cpu supports up to 2933mhz and the Memory controller load with 4 sticks makes it difficult to overclock.

 

Try running just 2 sticks slots A2 and B2. See if that helps to start with.
