You have a slim to none chance of getting your ram to run faster than it is sold at when you're over 3200mhz. These products get tested and binned. They're going to try to squeeze as much money as they can out, so they'll ensure that the best ones get the most money.
Once in a while a few slip through but it's such a tiny margin you're highly unlikely to get it to run higher than the XMP.
You can adjust the XMP profile to a lower frequency while maintaining the same timing, voltages, and other parameters.
The voltage could remain the same, but you should adjust the cas timings based on the reduced frequencies. You can check other ram kits online to compare their cas timings and match them with your setup. Running at 4000 is fine and offers a solid speed. Is this causing any issues?
You can add points to Cas Timings by following their specific guidelines. If you're unsure about what they mean, it might help to review the official documentation or contact their support for clarification.
If you're manually inputting the frequency you're probably not inputting the cas.
Theres a menu in your bios for "DRAM Timings"
The first three boxes will correspond with the four cas timings where the first number goes in the first box, the second and third number go in he second box, and the fourth number goes in the third box.
I've filed a return request for my RAM, talked to the person, and they confirmed there shouldn't be any boot issues since the RAM should operate at its stated speed/times. Thanks for your assistance.
