	The memory controller is built into Ryzen processors .. your chip (1st Gen) has a very finicky memory controller and it's luck of the draw if you are able to get your memory to run at 3200mhz. updating your bios might help. You can up your speed from 2133 to 2400 and see if it's stable and if so ... manually select a faster and faster speed until your system isn't stable anymore to find your cap for that ram with your cpu.
