DDR5 stock settings

Hi guys

I have Corsair Vengeance Black, PC5-41600 (5200) on an Asus strix b660.
Only setting have have changed is the Dram frequency to DDR5-5200. Is this ok? I don’t want to overclock the system just want it to run the speed it’s meant to run.
CPU is i9 12900k

thanks

I don't know anything about DDR5, but usually Corsair Vengeance has faster timings than what the board will default to and it needs a higher voltage.

Not enabled XMP no

I'd just enabled the xmp profile, it will then adjust the voltage and timings according to the manufacturers set profile

On my Asus Z690 Board with 4 sticks of Team Group Polaris 5200 C34 my PC refused to boot when I enabled XMP. Once I upped the RAM voltage to 1.30 volts it then worked fine. I'm assuming this is because I'm using 4 sticks though.
