Got a new motherboard and cpu (Asus PRIME B550-PLUS and 5800x3D) but when I put my ram to 3200mhz the pc won't boot

The first boot went fine and I did some benchmarks, no trouble. But the ram was defaulted to 2133mhz, while they are 3200mhz sticks. So, I went into bios and turned on xmp which put it on 3200mhz by itself. Save and exit, pc won't boot. After it tries a few times it shows me this screen you see in the screenshot.

 

Why though? Doesn't my pc easily support 3200mhz?

Is it Corsair memory by any chance?

Are the RAM sticks in the correct slots?? Typically the second and fourth slot away from the CPU socket. Appears you are on the latest BIOS as I was going to suggest updating BIOS, but scratch that.

They are in first and 3rd, but I was watching a build guide video while building and they did that too, saying it's fine. Bios and hwinfo also say I am running in dual channel

Move them over to the 2nd and 4th, as that is not the ideal position to place RAM sticks. Do this and clear CMOS with the system OFF. Turn the system on and go into BIOS and try setting XMP again.

Read your manual. Some boards have a button to do it. Others you need to jump a pair of pins with a metal object. Or you can remove the CMOS battery for a bit and then put it back in.

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.

Button cell battery on the motherboard. Remove it or short the CMOS jumper (typically near the bottom of the motherboard if looking at it with the rear I/O on the left side).

You have to have the motherboard go through memory training whenever you install/remove RAM. Plus, it's best practice doing so.

Well, first try I failed to mount one stick properly, second try it worked! xmp is turned on and the system booted. task manager is saying 3200mhz. Let's see how big of a difference it makes in timespy!

Hey one more question. My timespy results are about 400 below average. Is that because they include in the average people with higher ram speeds and overclocks as well?

I think that's within tolerance. I know my Time Spy scores are about 500 points lower than what the average is.
