I recently purchased an MSI Pro Z790-A motherboard and paired it with an i7-13700K and two 16GB 6000MHz CL36 RAM sticks. Everything worked smoothly until I turned on XMP at 6000MHz, but the system wouldn’t boot. It only managed to load at 58000MHz. MSI stated that dual-channel support for DDR5 7200+MHz is available, while my setup was limited to 5800MHz. Could you clarify why this discrepancy exists? Your guidance would be invaluable. Thank you!

Did you receive RAM that matched XPO or XMP specifications? It’s possible they don’t always fit together, and sometimes you need the precise kits listed in their specifications to ensure compatibility. Otherwise, it could just be a coincidence.

The main timings should work if you enter them manually and let the system auto-set the sub-timings.

There are updates regarding the Asus Prime Z790-A Wi-Fi motherboard. The manufacturer has addressed some issues, so it should work now. For BIOS details beyond general performance improvements, visit the official website and search for the specific model number. Check the documentation or support pages for precise changes in BIOS and Intel ME versions.

Hey there! No problem at all, just wanted to check in. It seems there haven’t been any new updates since I last tried using my RAM at its rated speed, so I’m not expecting any changes. The best thing to do is visit your motherboard’s site and choose a RAM that they specifically recommend for running at those speeds. If you go to MSI’s page, pick the exact model you’re interested in—like the Prime Z790-A Wi-Fi, Support, and then compatibility section. Good luck, and I hope it all works smoothly!
