Check if the Intel i5 12400F can run faster than 4800MHz with DDR5 RAM, aiming for 5200MTs or 6000MHz.

It should be fine, although it's technically overclocking. The Intel spec only guarantees DDR5-4800, but I haven't heard of any 12th gen CPUs that can't handle DDR5-6000. You'd have to be very unlucky with the silicon lottery for it not to work. EDIT: Do note that you must have at least a B series board for XMP over DDR5-4800 to be allowed. H610 boards only allow RAM up to the officially supported speed.

Thanks for the reply. In your region, locating quality RAM at 4800MHz DDR5 is challenging. Most options range from 5200MHz to 6000MHz, and the more affordable 4800MHz variants tend to be pricier. I’m hoping someone who has experience with this will share their insights.

Extensive studies show that only H Series boards have restrictions, whereas Z Series boards offer more options. This varies with silicon quality. I’ll focus on 6000MHz.
