Hello, my mistake was purchasing the incorrect memory sticks a while back, making a return impossible. My current issue is unrelated to the stick itself; I had no idea the inability to enable XMP was due to the hardware. The relevant details are:

I9-9900KF
z370m
Memory type: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3600mhz
AMD model: Yes, I bought it
Tried manual overclocking, changed MOBO setting from 'normal' to 'relax OC', set RAM to 3600mhz and voltage to 1.35v. It worked initially. Then a game stuttered, confirming the memory was overclocked. Is this the only possibility? Should I lower the RAM frequency instead?
Thanks.

Mm,
Z370M Aorus Gaming CMW16GX4M2Z3600C18 is the Corsair Vengance RGB Pro Model Nvidia 2060 Super I9 9900KF. The MOBO encounters a problem where only the rightmost RAM slots, #2 and #4, function properly. It might be related to a CPU pin or another factor, but it doesn't seem connected to the OC issue since my previous RAM (G-Skill Flare X 3200mhz) worked well with XMP. DxDiag was just checked.
