Hey everyone! I'm pretty new to PC gaming and I bought a modified prebuilt system from a friend a few days ago. I've been trying to boost my RAM speed, but I'm stuck at 2133MHz and I can't seem to change it. I've got 32GB of DDR4 3600MHz Corsair Vengeance RAM installed in slots A2 and B2 on an ROG STRIX B560-G motherboard, paired with an i7-11700k CPU. I've done some research and tried quite a few things already, but nothing's worked. Here's what I've done so far: updated the BIOS to the latest version (2.21.1278), enabled XMP profiles I and II, and even manually set various RAM speeds and voltages with no success. Additionally, I've noticed that my CPU core voltage is at 1.057V and I can't adjust it, while the DRAM voltage is set to 1.35V by default. I'm hoping to at least hit 3200MHz, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

You should just need to enable XMP profile 1 or 2, save your settings, and restart. That usually does the trick without needing to manually overclock! Give that another shot if you haven’t already.
Try resetting everything to the default (stock) settings in the BIOS. Then, boot back into BIOS and enable XMP again. When you restart, you should see your RAM speed updated. It's similar to what I did with my MSI board, and it worked for me!
Unfortunately, I've already tried that multiple times, but it didn't work.
