Hi there

I recently upgraded my PC. I now have a Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX Rev 1.1.
I also purchased 32GB of RAM. Specifically, G.skill Trident Z5. Timings are CL34-45-45-115. DDR5-7200 16GBx2
My CPU is an Intel i5-13600K

My PC boots normally into my previous Windows installation. However, when enabling XMP I have a boot failure.
According to the QVL for the RAM, the Z790 AORUS ELITE AX is supported with a 13th Gen Intel Core K-SKU CPU. So in terms of compatibility, I should be okay.

My question is, how can I troubleshoot this? Do I need to increase the voltages to my memory somehow? Thanks!
 
Update: My motherboard has two CPU slots for power from the PSU. I only have one plugged in pending a second being shipped from Corsair. I'm going to close my post for now until this second one comes in.
