Check your system performance and compare it with your hardware specs to determine if the CPU is limiting speed.

You should easily reach 3000MHz without any trouble. Watching YouTube tutorials can help you learn how to manually adjust RAM timing. Stability comes with practice, but it's essential. You're missing out on significant performance gains by not fine-tuning. Most people overlook the importance of maintaining a high enough SOC voltage for the memory controller to function properly at higher speeds. Finding the optimal balance between SOC and DRAM voltages requires patience, but the results are worth the effort. It's been years since I encountered a setup that reliably runs at 2666MHz.
I mentioned earlier on this discussion I've attempted both docp and manual methods. The RAM was swapped using the warranty since one stick could reach 3200 MHz, but once I installed the other one, the system wouldn't boot. With docp, a technician provided some assistance; we couldn't exceed 2666 MHz that way. Even at 2666 MHz it showed blue screens, so we stopped there. I plan to investigate again, but I still suspect a CPU memory controller issue. After deciding to leave the computer in boot loop, the RAM stopped appearing in the BIOS when I tried to install it.
