Why can't I overclock my memory?

I have this memory - CORSAIR - Dominator Platinum RGB 64GB (4PK 16GB) 3.2GHz

 

My CPU is 3950x in MSI X570 Meg Ace motherboard. I have precision boost on in enhanced mode 4.

 

My memory runs fine on profile 2 (3200Mhz), but if I try to use 'Memory Try It' to go higher, I get RAM overlock failed.  I tried manually setting ram to 1800Mhz and 1800Mhz infinity fabric with SoC voltage of 1.1, still doesn't work.

 

Am I unfortunate to have RAM that doesn't overclock or maybe my motherboard has a problem?

Maybe check what dies do the sticks have.

Using Thaiphoon Burner and just read SPD.

4 sticks of 16GB is a bit tougher to overclock, raise the DRAM voltage to 1.5V, set the timings to Auto and dial in manually 3600Mhz.

Sometimes you need to raise voltage for an overclock that would work on 2 sticks to work on 4.

Thank you.  I will try raising my voltage.

 

I would've responded sooner but I didn't get any email notifications of responses.
