Overclock fail after enabling XMP Profile - MSI B760 Gaming Plus Wifi

Hello guys, I'm having problems when enabling XMP in my motherboard.
Here is my setup
- i5 12400F
- RAM UDIMM Corsair Vengeance 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000MHz (Intel XMP) CL36 (36-44-44-96) 1.35V
- MSI B760 Gaming Plus Wifi
- Windows 11
- GTX 4060

After enabling the XMP the mobo restarts saying the overclock profile failed, I'm afraid to use Memory Try It and harm some part of my hardware, any guidance? Is it a problem from my mobo?
Thanks
 
What's your BIOS version?

This RAM kit (i assume it is CMK32GX5M2E6000C36) can sometimes wrongly request 1.4V via the XMP. Try setting it to 1.35V manually.
So, enable XMP, but before pressing F10 to save&exit, also set "DRAM Voltage" to 1.35V. If that doesn't help, also try with "DRAM VDDQ Voltage" to 1.35V.
If that doesn't help, keep XMP enabled and those two voltages at 1.35V, but also set "DRAM Frequency" to DDR5-5600.
 
I am not sure this is the problem, but the specs of your i5-12400F indicate it only supports DDR5 up to 4800 MT/s. Your memory's SPD speed is 4800 MHz, so you were OK until you enabled XMP.
 
Hi I have some updates, I set manually the voltages to 1,35 and the motherboard started windows, but windows got a blue screen with "Windows can't verify digital signature" and never loaded again, I reset the OC configs again and disabled XMP to boot normally again, :(

Specs of the processor is supposed to be these as default with no overclock. XMP is an overclock so it will be never mentioned in a CPU spec that it supports an overcloked frequency

Even 12600KF that's a powerfull processor says the frequency is up to 4800MHz but everyone uses XMP on it to overclock it

A 25% IMC overclocking is not an easy task for any CPU.
DDR5-6000 is more suitable for Gen 13/14 CPUs. Those are 800-1000MT/s faster than your Gen 12 one.
For your (cheap Core i5) Gen 12 CPU a more realistic overclocking target is 5600.
So use the XMP profile (timings and voltages) but set the memory speed to 5600 and try again.
good luck
