Is this really an issue? windows updates can destroy cpus with smaller core counts

All DDR4 will run at 2133mhz by default, even if you buy 3800mhz sticks it will default to that, you need to go into your bios and look at XMP/DOCP settings

basic guide (or just google it):

It is also good rule of thumb to set your FClock to half of your RAM speed for Ryzen, so in your case ~1600mhz
