I'm not sure of what gen your on for the Thinkpad but googling default memory speed of gen X, where X is your gen should resolve that issue. If you need to go helper than you need XMP or the AMD version to go beyond the default speed. For sure,3200 is beyond that for memory with current gen.

Lenovo ships the machine with DDR4 3200 ram, and AMD lists that CPU as
running DDR4 at up to 3200.

The CPU/system supports 3200, but it only uses the JEDEC default profile,
not XMP.
