Mem overclock on B450M

Getting more than 3200 is tricky on Zen+ and your memory is not worth overclocking. I wouldn't bother if I were you since you could end up having to spend several weeks on this and you will not notice any performance gain.

I've seen people getting 3600 out of these on intel, so ram can probably do it. zen+ is shitty for ram support anyway i guess.

No worries, i'll leave it at 3200. it was cheap, £25 a stick from CEX.

I have a asus tuf gaming b450m pros, ryzen 5 2600x and Team T-Force vulcan Z 2x8gb 3000mhz ram. I changed it to 3200 and set voltage to 1.35v as it states on the sticks. Problem is, no matter what i try to go higher, i get 3 beeps on reboot, and no post.

You can try up to 3333MHz with 1,4V for RAM and 1,15V for SOC but for higher than 3333 you will need to loose timings much and might not worth it at all.
 
It's ok, i'll be dumping this pos soon anyway for a 126/700k, so i'll just leave it at 3200 till it goes. I didn't realize zen+ is so shitty for ram support, can't understand why everyone gushed about them.

Zen2 is not actually that bad, on my Ryzen 3600 i have two sticks of 3600 clocked at 3800, you have the older Zen+
 
18-19-18
1.37v
Either 3333 or 3466
Probably won't work.. Worth a try
 
When I had my 2600X as main gaming rig, was able to get 3466 stable for daily gaming. But SR was easier than DR on Zen+. I was even able to get 3533 out of it but never bothered with extensive testing. It didn't make any diff cause' my old monitors FPS were capped anyway. This is on B450 & of course X570 boards.
 
Please try this procedure.

Set everything to stock in the BIOS. XMP off etc
Remove one stick.
Let the BIOS notify RAM config has change.
Switch off
Install second RAM stick.
Increase the voltage to 1.35V at stock then reboot.

Now try to set 3200 with loose timings at first then reboot.

My Kit is Corsair 2133CL13 Hynix AFR. With two sticks I can get 3200CL14 using the above procedure.

That's Samsung B-die in your screenshot chief. AFR can't do such low tRFC.

I thought the same at first. Its version number v5.20 which shows has Hynix on Msi QVL support page has well has in thaiphoon burner.
I would need to remove the heat spreader to check but don't want to do that.

Yeah, don't mind me. It's a decent kit though.

Unfortunately my board wont do that timings with 4 sticks. So I can only do 2933CL14 with 4 sticks
