I have DDR5 6000+ Corsair Dominator ram, when I go into bios it says memory frequency is 4000 I tried adjusting that to 6000 and the cpu wouldn't boot. I then reset my cmos and it booted back to bios and memory was changed back to 4000. Can someone elaborate why that is?

    How many dimms are you running? If more than two you're going to have problems getting past 4000.

    6Q6CPFHPBPCU691 is a discount code anyone can use.

    There is a limitation when running 4 sticks memory for the Z690 chipset when you use all four memory slots. It runs at default speeds with 4 sticks. Try running with 2 sticks in slot 2 and 4 only and then try setting it at 6000mhz frequency.

    Hello brisbane,
     
    If all four memory slots are filled, single rank memory will support up to DDR5-4000.
     
    If all four memory slots are filled, dual rank memory will support up to DDR5-3600.
     

     
    Currently with Intel 12th gen running DDR5, if you need 64GB system memory your best option is 2x32GB kit.
