There should be a setting simply labeled XMP, and you should be able to just enable it and get the rated speed.

I would like to overclock my ram, i'm sure my motherboard can handle stock from the factory 2666mz i believe(could be wrong) but i am running 3200mhz ram

Have you enabled xmp in the BIOS?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
