New to overclocking, so my apologies if this is dumb. Recently, I purchased a new PC and noticed that my RAM frequency was at 2133mhz - I tried enabling xmp to 3600, then 3200 and then lower but every time I do, my PC doesn’t Post and I have to manually restart it and then it posts with Memory OC failed. I have tried overclocking my memory and the CPU from 1.3v to 1.45, Memory fail again and it just made my PC run a higher temp that i wasn’t comfortable with (95+ under stress)

Specs:

Motherboard- Z590GTA

CPU - I9 11900F

RAM: 4 sticks of 16GB - 3600Mhz

BIOS and everything else is at its most recent updates,

My CPU and Motherboard should be able to run at least 3200mhz as it says on their datasheets, I am completely lost and any help would be appreciated.
