Randomly decided to check CPU-Z today and it's reporting my RAM speed at 931Mhz. When I originally built the PC, back in December 2019, I set up DOCP in the bios at 3200 Mhz, and that's what it showed in CPU-Z. I don't know when this happened, or why it happened, I haven't changed any bios settings since, and I can't find an answer despite searching. I've literally never had a single issue with this build before, not even a crash, so I'm very confused. I'm hesitant to update the BIOS, I've read that if it isn't broken, don't update it, and I'm always scared of bricking the system no matter how irrational that may sound, but If someone is going to tell me to update the bios, I'll need to buy a USB stick (I moved about a year ago and have a lot of my stuff in storage in another state), is there a certain size/type/file system required? Anyway, if there is another solution to try before that, it'd be appreciated. Thank You

EDIT: I did change the TPM setting for the Windows 11 test, but am still on Windows 10

Seems like the CMOS got reset or possibly reset to defaults in BIOS.

Seems simple enough to go to BIOS and re-enable DOCP and see what shakes.

Also asus makes it simple with BIOS Flashback. Search out your board on the Asus site, grab all the BIOS files you do not have. Once you have them, extract the files, use the Renamer tool, and put the file on a FAT32 stick and flash it.

I say grab them all, as somethimes you need a version installed to be able to use the rest of the higher numbered versions.
 
I would just into the BIOS and re-enable XMP/DOCP. DDR4-3200 "may" run in 1:1 Ratio with the memory controller for Zen+ (2700X). Some people got it up to 3400. If that fails, I would update the BIOS. A LOT has changed since AGESA 1.0 over 4 years. Your memory probably failed to boot and it just reverted back to JEDEC without you noticing.

This may be a problem. Your asking a lot out of the memory controller with 4 DIMMs on that CPU. You may need to update the BIOS after all. Even increase the SoC voltage to 1.15-1.2V.
