    1, 2 and 3000 series Ryzen do have problem with both IMC channels are used by 4 sticks of RAM, Generally 3200MHz i best frequency for that case as Cas and other latencies can be greatly reduced, in some cases that helps more than just frequency itself.
    Some of the problem is that 3000 series Ryzen have IMC frequency limit 3200MHz over which it has to be overclocked. (Just IMC, not whole CPU).
    Another limitation could be MB and it's BIOS, should check for BIOS version and see if any mentions memory improvement.
    Great tools to use for manual settings:

    I'm strictly Intel so I've never used AMD processors or motherboards and can't speak from personal experience, but I've read a number of threads where AMD boards seem to be finicky about the RAM. If that's the case you might be better off following the QVL list.

    That said, you might look to the AMD Motherboards forums at overclock.net. Since they're an overclocker's site you can learn a lot about your motherboard to include RAM configurations. I don't overclock but I do frequent the site when I need to know something about my motherboard or have a question. The site's a great way to learn your board; even better if there's a thread dedicated to your board.

    My two cents
