Are you enabling an XMP profile or trying to manually change the speed?

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

Ryzen + Asus motherboards tend to not work very well with ram. 

This is not true.

 

@anandmike201, did you make sure that when you enabled the XMP profile it was changing the voltage for the RAM? Many motherboards do this automatically, but I have seen some (including an Asus B450 board I used) that left the RAM parked at stock 1.2v even when XMP was on unless you also changed the voltage in a separate setting.

My bad here. Let me just remind you that just because you have never had the issue doesn't mean the issue isn't real. It is a very real issue, Asus B-450 +Ryzen= ram problems for a lot of users.

Any board + Ryzen = RAM issues for a lot of people in the Zen and Zen+ days, especially after they had been conditioned by years of "lol it doesn't matter, RAM is RAM" during the years of Intel dominance.

The issues are still present. If you don't have experience fixing it, like I have done dozens of times, maybe you shouldn't be commenting on the issue.

asus prime b450m - a ii, corsair lpx vengance 3200 mhz, ryzen 5 3500

Anyways, as I said before, you can try changing it to 2666 at 1.35 volts. That fixes it for a lot of people that otherwise can't get XMP to work. If you want to try XMP, you have to change one of the timings and that fixes it for those that can run XMP. It depends on many factors, I can get you the timings if you wish to try that instead of running the ram at 2666.

Well at the moment at 2666 MHz it's is working well. *And automatically it was going to 1.35 v

"Just manually dial in 2666 and settle for that" doesn't sound like solving it to me. This is like someone said their car wouldn't shift into fifth gear and you told them "I've solved this many times, just drive in 4th."

 

Had 0 issue getting Crucial (Micron E-die) 3200mhz to run at rated speed on my old Asus B450 board with a 2600 as soon as I made sure the voltage was correct. On the other hand the Corsair LPX I had before that never went over 2666mhz, but it wasn't rated for more than that either, was leftover from a "RAM is RAM" Intel build.

 

No reason he shouldn't be able to get the rated 3200mhz from his Corsair stuff, he should certainly be able to do better than 2666 at the very least.

My solution isn't run it at 2666 and forget it. It is that 2666 works 99% of the time when nothing else works. If he wants it to "just work" do that. I mention if he wanted to try to get it to run at XMP speeds, I can get him the timings that have fixed the issue for some but it isn't fool proof. My default answer usually isn't to tell people to mess with timings unless they want to. That is up to them, I gave them options. I am sorry I didn't please you with my answer, in the future I will run it by you before I post anything.

Well at least now I can bring it up to 2933

Sometimes, it will run fine but apps like Chrome will crash websites. Just make sure it fully works before you rely on it to be stable. If you want, here are the numbers if you want to try them for timings: infinity Fabric 1.2volts | Ram: 1.35-1.45v | Timings: 16-18-18-18-18-36-(either 56 or 54, try both) people have luck maybe 50% of the time with this working. So good luck!
