GA-Z170X-Gaming 6 - F22 BiOS - 3200 Ram Stuck at 2800

After updating the bios to F22 I am no longer able to get memory to work at 3200. Even when selecting manual or XMP, it shows 3200, however when boots it shows 2800. I had no issues before. Any help would be grateful!

I had basically the same problem with the F22 BIOS on this board. I was able to set XMP, and OC my processor, using the same settings as the F21 BIOS, but then the PC would end up with a BSOD from a variety of failures. The solution is to reinstall the F21 BIOS and stay away from F22.

Sometimes forcing the system to start with a single stick of RAM, then populating the other slots after one or more restarts can resolve this behavior.  Or, the XMP info or power parameters are incorrect in F22 which is why you cannot get 3200 out of your RAM.   

If you have reset the BIOS and still cannot get full speed from the RAM using manual settings, your options are:

Flashback to previous build that worked, or switch to the back up BIOS and wait for a new revision to become available.  I doubt 400Mhz difference clock speed of your memory will even be measurable or noticeable.
