Question Can my Prime B660M-A D4 motherboard run ram at 3200 mhz

[Entopian]

I have a Prime B660M-A D4 and an intel i5 12400 and Corsair ram that has 3200 and every time I try to overlock the ram to 3200 my system because unstable is there something I am missing from the parts I listed that is not compatible with boosting the ram speed?

The integrated memory controller on your processor should be able to go there, per Intel's statement here;

then comes the board, stating it here;

PRIME B660M-A D4 - Tech Specs｜Motherboards｜ASUS Global

Intel® B660 (LGA 1700) mATX motherboard with PCIe 4.0, two M.2 slots, Intel® 1Gb Ethernet, DP,2 x HDMI®, rear USB 3.2 Gen 2, front USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C, Aura Sync

so yes.

What BIOS version are you on for your motherboard? Make and model of the ram kit you're working with?

Try and update the BIOS, clear the CMOS after your last BIOS update, then manually set the frequency, timings and voltage as shown on the stickered side of the ram in BIOS if X.M.P doesn't yield any results.
