Hello everyone, I hope you're all well. I'm facing some issues with my RAM setup for my PC build. The configuration is: CPU 13700K, stock RAM Corsair CMK64GX4M2D3600C18 (2x32GB at 3600MHz CL18), and the memory is Z690 AORUS ELITE AX DDR4. I can't get it to exceed 2133MHz, which isn't ideal. If anyone has experience with the Z690 chipset and DDR4, I'd really appreciate any advice. I've tried adjusting the profile manually, including setting the DRAM voltage and placing RAM in A2/B2 slots as the manual suggests.

The second and fourth positions on the CPU?

They're printed directly onto the motherboard in that way. I'd verify it's delivering the correct 1.35V when XMP is turned on. That would be the key reason I'd doubt it would start at 3600MHz if the voltage wasn't being applied correctly.

I also attempted to adjust the voltage manually to 1.35 or even 1.36, but it didn't work.

I changed the BIOS to version 29 and still can't adjust the RAM size, which is really annoying.

Yes, you can run Prime95 Blend for 10 minutes without XMP or CPU overclocking. First assess whether the CPU is the main issue by monitoring its performance before proceeding with any RAM overclocking.
