I cannot set my XMP Profile for my Corsair 3200mhz Ram :( I get blue screen errors, very unstable.

I'm on Bios 2.60 B450M Steel Legend.

Ram specs: CMU16GX4M2C3200C16 (2x8gig sticks) 16gb total

CPU: r5 3600 stock
Mobo: B450m Steel Legend
Bios 2.60

Any idea on when will a more mature bios be released ?

Nobody knows, if there will be a bios supporting this RAM out of the box.
Maybe the next bios can help.

This RAM is not on the QVL, neither on the lists of other boards.
You can try it with XMP for the next lower frequency and if it does not work, use the next lower...
Or do the same WITHOUT XMP.
And check the RAM voltage set to 1.35V
If success, make stress tests to ensure stability.

Or try the DRAM Calculater and read the howto's

I can?™t answer for 2.6 BIOS because my board (albeit the full size and not the m) came pre installed with 2.7, but I couldn?™t get it to go any higher then 2733.

I ended up switching the modules to slots a2 and b2 and tried the xmp profile again, and they started running flawlessly at 3200.

That is the recommend RAM slot setting for ALL Ryzen boards using 2 sticks. Didn't you read the manual?
Anyway, good that you get it to work now as it should.
