The system would prefer not to increase its speed in the BIOS settings.
I can increase the system speed using ASUS EZ-Tuning in the BIOS and ASUS Al Suite 3 software.
With EZ-Tuning, I can reach 4.3 GHz with a multiplier of 42 and a BLK of 103 without adjusting the vcore.
Using Al Suite 3, I can achieve 4.6 GHz with a multiplier of 46 and a BLK of 100, applying a +0.05V to the vcore.
However, when attempting to change the 4.6 GHz setting or any BIOS frequency, the computer fails to power on after pressing F10 and restarting. The only solution is to keep the power button pressed until the system shuts down completely and then restart it.
After that, I’m shown a screen that requires restoring my BIOS settings back to defaults to boot into Windows again.
I’ve also tried enabling the XMP profile in the BIOS with default CPU settings, but the same error persists.
Please find screenshots of my system specs and BIOS configurations I used for these attempts.
Thank you for reading.

1. XMP refers to memory speed. Perhaps your memory is the issue. Check the memory section in the CPU-Z.
2. The BCLK value for 103 seems high. Consider overclocking your CPU multiplier using a BCLK of 100.
Does this indicate any memory-related problems?
I selected a BCLK of 103 by accident due to the ASUS EZ-Tuning feature in BIOS. I attempted OC with a standard BCLK of 100 and a multiplier of 46, but it didn't work.
Compare the memory settings in CPU Z with the recommended configurations from memory manufacturers' websites.
There is a "Down Arrow" next to your XMP selection. Click it and check for an additional XMP option. If present, attempt that first.
Have you reviewed the XMP specifications for your RAM on the manufacturer's site to confirm compatibility with the DIMMs (16.0, 16, 16, 39, 1T) the motherboard supports?
If possible, test changing the 1T rating to a 2T and see if it resolves the issue.
If that doesn't work, consider raising the DRAM voltage to 1.250 v.

If possible, test switching the 1T rating to 2T and observe if it functions properly.
If unsuccessful, consider raising the DRAM voltage to 1.250 v.

Adjust your Vcore in BIOS to 1.25 Volts (verify the right voltage).
Start with the computer running at its default speed; confirm the CPU voltage is 1.25V at Z (Core VID).
Keep BCLK at 100 and gradually raise the CPU multiplier in BIOS, testing stability one step at a time. Perform a stress test for 2 minutes to ensure no crashes. If instability appears, reduce the speed by 0.2Ghz.
Lower the speed again by 0.1Ghz if it becomes unstable and continue until it runs smoothly.

Ok, quick guide to overclocking.
set your Vcore in BIOS to 1.25 Volts (make sure you get the correct voltage!!)
Run your computer at stock speed, and check the voltage in CPU - Z (Core VID) is 1.25V
Leave BCLK at 100, and increase your CPU multiplier in BIOS one step at a time until your computer becomes unstable. Use a stress test for 2 mins to check for stability at each CPU speed . When you get to a speed where it crashes, you are probably about 0.2Ghz too fast...
In BIOS turn the CPU speed down 0.2Ghz, and use your computer as normal. If it doesn't crash after a week, you are good. If it crashes or glitches, turn it down another 0.1Ghz
I loaded BIOS defaults settings, changed v-core to 1.25, and restarted my system.
That soft-bricked my computer. The computer would not POST and was in a restart loop. I had to reset the CMOS to get my PC working again.
If OCing will be this difficult, I'll just quit.
Generally it's not that hard... but even at regular speeds you have a powerful processor, so giving up isn't such a bad choice.
