yes saved and exit'dHave you pressed F10 to save & reboot? Without that, it will not be activated yet.
But you can just update to the latest beta BIOS, it will set everything for you: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MAG-X570-TOMAHAWK-WIFI/support#support-main-block-download
Update how-to:
1) Get the latest BIOS. It's the topmost one on the MSI support page for your board.
2) Extract the file and you will get a text file and the BIOS file. Put the BIOS file into the root folder of a USB stick/drive.
3) Enter the BIOS by pressing DEL during boot, go to "M-FLASH" in the BIOS.
4) Once M-Flash (the updater) is loaded, it will show a list of your drives. Select the USB stick and select the previously extracted BIOS file on there.
5) It will ask for confirmation and then update the BIOS. It's fully automatic from there, takes about two minutes.
Also, after you update it, make sure to enable A-XMP for your RAM. I see that A-XMP is off and your RAM is running at the safe fallback frequency of DDR4-2133, this is very slow and will bottleneck your CPU performance. With XMP enabled it should be over DDR4-3000, depending on your RAM model.
Not setting RAM to its A-XMP setting will affect your CPU performance quite a bit.yes saved and exit'd
also xmp is basically oveeclocking my ram? overclocking IMO is bad, it'll deterate quicker
1) Then update your BIOS to the newest oneyes saved and exit'd

XMP is "official" only up to 3200.XMP is fully "official"

2) XMP is fully "official", don't worry. Most people use XMP, because the default safe frequency like DDR4-2133 nowadays bottlenecks the CPU performance way too much. It's not really considered overclocking, it is an official function of the board and RAM. Overclocking would be to go beyond the XMP frequency. Or with RAM that has a very high XMP frequency, you technically can go beyond the capabilities of the CPU, but such RAM is expensive and mostly bought by people that want to do exactly that. You probably have a way safer XMP frequency with your RAM, like DDR4-3200, which is no big deal. About deterioration: XMP will not do that. You can run at XMP speed for decades and everything will continue to work.
its 32 gb ddr4Well, i bet he hasn't bought higher-frequency RAM than DDR4-3200 XMP anyway, if he thought that it's overclocking.
Can you do a screenshot of this part of your bios screenits 32 gb ddr4
YupCan you do a screenshot of this part of your bios screen

How are you getting your screenshots? also, enabled xmpOK so latest bios good still not know what memory you have but try this setting
Save and exit bios

->How are you getting your screenshots?
And you can take a nice screenshot by pressing F12 in the BIOS and saving the image to a FAT32 USB drive. You might have to convert the picture to PNG or JPG afterwards to reduce the file size.
XMP is enabled, but DDR speed is still showing DDR4-2133. Did you save and reboot already (press F10)?also, enabled xmp
also this is my ramOK so latest bios good still not know what memory you have but try this setting
