ram New RAM runs at wrong frequency

Today I bought the same kit and filled in slots 1 and 3. Now when I try to boot, the PC restarts twice (which I suppose is the memory failure count) and when it boots, it sets the RAMs at 1866MHz. I tried setting DDR4-3200 at the BIOS settings. I tried to activate A-XMP (profile 2 - 3200MHz) but same issue for both. It reverts back to 1866.
Selecting XMP profile 1, however gives me 2933MHz. Anything higher than that reverts back to 1866.
Using the old sticks only I can select 3200MHz. Also using the new sticks only I can select 3200MHz as well.
My memory is that the 2400g has a limit on memory speed that may very well be a good bit lower than 3200mhz. People have occasionally increased that speed by overclocking the chip. Not sure how that works though. It’s real possible that the highest the cpu can go is 2933 and anymore just makes for bad things.
