The top I'd reach on the 13th generation Intel is 6000mhz for stability... @srrrx perhaps you didn't get 7200mhz RAM?
it's not just a joke, though maybe only slightly. Either way, Intel handles RAM better and has a more flexible sweet spot that could be above 6000Mhz, though it's not certain. It performs better than AMD in this regard. With some expertise, you can manually adjust the RAM's OC settings, but be cautious—don't overly trust the CPU controller, as it isn't without limits.
Sure, the Intel memory controller performs better than expected. The 6800 typically works around 90%, 6400 about 99%, and 6000 with 99.9% reliability when using XMP settings. I think 7200 is a bit optimistic—it might only work on 70-80% of CPUs out of the box with four DIMMs, but it’s not as problematic as you’re suggesting.
consider taking rams and purchasing a 6400c32 kit you bought for the XMP. dropping it to lower clocks really wastes money since you could have gotten a 6400c32 instead. same with Hynix—same top performance, just a capable IMCC that won’t last another couple generations. it’s probably an AMD APU IMCC.
The device won't operate at 6000mhz or lower. Check your voltage settings to ensure they match the required specifications.
