Memory, processor, motherboard 3200 megahertz, why is it defined and working as 2400?

Question

Computers

I whipped up a replacement for my dying board: https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/B550M-HDV , and for quite a long time I have 2 memory sticks: Ballistix Sport LT BLS8G4D32AESEK, 8 gigabytes each (could not find the official site ), the Ryzen 3600 processor taken at release. All this hardware supports 3200 megahertz on the bus without overclocking. However, it is determined at 2400. I haven't tried to manually set 3200 yet, and in any case, I would like to understand whether this will be overclocking in this situation (I don't like overclocking and haven't done it since the days of 3 Pentiums). I apologize for the poor quality of the picture:

The default is always 2400. Your memory needs to have an XMP profile for everything to work at 3200. Just select it instead of "Auto" where the cursor is in your screenshot.
Whether this is overclocking or not depends on what you consider overclocking. There is no clear definition. Personally, I believe that if the memory box says that it is designed to work at 3200, then let it work at 3200.
