Hi guys, I have been testing my new pc I just built yesterday. Everything runs well but there is one thing I overlooked with RAM. I bought Corsair DDR5 Vengeance 6400 cl32 2x16. And it says it's optimized for intel.
In my bios it shows speed of 4800 even less in cpu z https://i.postimg.cc/Twj6c1qJ/1.png. How should I configure it? I played some games and ran full memtest86 with these default setting and it gave 0 errors. I'm amateur at overlocking. Should I consider returning for different ram?

edit: I turned on a-xmp profile on in bios and got 6400 cl32 on auto. Is it safe to run it on my system? should I do another memtest86 with it on? https://i.postimg.cc/5tqktRBn/2.png

AMD only guarantee 5200 and most people buy 6000, so I'd do some testing, if I were you. Though, if you don't have any data on the PC that you care about, then maybe "game stable" is good enough.
Thanks,

I'll do another memtest86 later today with A-XMP on. It takes a few hours so gonna do it before bed, I'll post the results here in case someone else runs in similar problem.
Any other tests I can run or things I can look up on this matter?
