On NZXT CAM the RAM was only operating at 1333 MHz instead of the intended 3200 MHz. After setting XMP to 3200 MHz, I encountered a blue screen two days prior. I purchased a refurbished custom build for about $700. It includes an i7-10700k RTX 3070Ti, Founders Edition, Asus Tuf Z490 Plus, 64GB RAM (16GB at 3200 MHz each), and a 750W power supply.

The NZXT CAM likely shows 2666MT/sec because the MCLK needs to be around 1333MHz for that performance. You're aiming for a 3200MT/sec profile. It might be due to using four 16GB RAM modules together, as some can't handle the higher speed stably. Unless you require 64GB, combining two sticks should work fine.
