3000mhz XMP fails to operate, computer shuts down after two seconds and restarts
As mentioned in the title, when XMP profile 3000 is applied, the PC shuts off briefly and then restarts, repeating this pattern. When manually adjusting the frequency to 3000mhz with specific timing and keeping the voltage at 1.2V, it started working properly, though I haven’t performed a memory test yet. My 6600K is currently running at 4.5ghz with a voltage of 1.35V. Any suggestions?
It depends on the MB and CPU regarding compatibility, and 3000MHz is quite a high requirement for the IMC.
OC is considered, so it might work or not depending on your specific components.
Sometimes an XMP profile isn't suitable if the processor lacks the necessary profile; adjusting the RAM voltage slightly can sometimes resolve the issue.
You mentioned the system started properly at 1.2V with those Primary Timings—do they operate at their rated speed?

Well that's great if they are operating smoothly at the OK tieripisz level.
You can execute a few stress tests.
Install HWMonitor and AIDA64 on your desktop and combine them.
AIDA64 includes a memory test, checking Cache, CPU, and FPU. Open Tools and select the tests. Use HWMonitor to monitor temperatures and rail voltages. Capture screenshots at the 10-minute point and share the findings.
Realbench is another useful option. Perform the benchmark first, then run the test afterward. Success in both indicates system stability.
Monitor temperatures continuously and halt any test if they exceed 80°C.

Update note: I've updated the BIOS now. It works fine with XMP. Regarding the voltage, if it runs at 1.2V, should I adjust it? Or is it better to leave it as is? Any advantages?
Also, LLC has been set to turbo mode, reaching 4.5GHz and 1.285V. Unfortunately, temperatures are limiting performance. At this frequency, I see readings between 64-68°C under load (max heat test in AIDA64). At 4.6GHz it was 69-75°C, which is still acceptable but I might keep it at 4.5GHz.
Good call tieripisz, updating your Bios. Temperatures between 60-68C during load are ideal for durability.
If the voltage you have is suitable, keep it as is. Higher voltage generates more heat.
If you're comfortable staying at 4.5GHz, the additional 100MHz won't make a significant difference.
