hey everyone or anyone reading this. I have a taichi x470 mobo with a 2700x and i cant get my gskill flare x 3200 cl14 ram up to speed. I have 32 gs in 4 sticks of 8. the only xmp profile in my bios page is one for a corsair kit.
this is my first build and ive pretty much taught myself everything via youtube channels, and now id like some real help 
everything ive read about zen + says 3200 is the sweet spot but is that ok with the cl14 cas? and the 32 gbs ? sorry if this seems noobish
Latest stable bios?
Also have you tried setting the speed manually? Not xmp profile just manually.

zen + kinda has issues with higher spped ram sometimes, but make sure you’re on latest bios. helps a ton.
bios p1.60 1.0.0.4
and i havent tried manually as im not sure what to do if it fails.

Try and set manually. Just the ram speed. See if it sticks by going immediately back into bios after reboot.
ok, you’re like over a year out of date.

put the rom file (inside the zip) on a FAT16 formatted flash drive. reboot to “instant flash”
this will update you to 2.00

and also is there any advantage for the new bios 3.6? i do plan on upgrading to zen 2 and i dont need pci gen 4 so im thinking this will do fine until i need to upgrade mobos
3.6 is only for zen2 / 3000 series ryzen
