2600 will do 3200 RAM without tweaking.

oc?

OverClocking

Always check the BIOS for what speed the RAM is set to. If the label says 2666 for example, with a little bad luck, it might be running at slower than that speed. Check if there's a setting for that. OEM builds should have it run at the advertised speed, tho. Otherwise, false advertisement. Which means a law suit

Intel has XMP (extreme memory profile), for example, that overclocks the RAM automatically. AMD does not have that, AFAIK, but some mobo makers came up with their own tricks similar to XMP. Otherwise, do it manually and good luck with that.

XMP works on AMD, and default for any rig will either be 2133 or 2400 per JEDEC.

I have been trying to get into the BIOS to check the RAM speed but, even though I have tried 'restarting' my pc and 'shutting down', when I boot it up again I do not get the options in the bottom right hand corner to press F12 or whatever to enable me to get in.
Does anyone know why please?

try delete and hit it a few times while booting

That didn't work Celery, thanks for trying though.
