Start assembling your first PC. I thought it would be smooth but it’s causing me trouble. Here are the details: Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX RAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo DDR5 6000 CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X GPU: RTX 4070ti Storage: Samsung 970 Evo+ 1TB PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower Gf1 750w After setting everything up, I installed the drivers and updated the BIOS. Then I turned on XMP in the BIOS, saved the changes, and the PC shut down, then restarted. It displayed the motherboard logo for two seconds before turning off again and restarting. I cleared the CMOS to try restoring the BIOS settings and disabled XMP. Now my RAM is still running at 4800 MHz instead of the advertised 6000 MHz. Can I get my RAM to hit 6000 MHz safely, or should I stick with the current speed?

Manually set the value to 6000. If it still crashes, reduce it to the nearest stable number below 6000.
