32 GB G-SKILL 5 5600 MHz DDR5.

I'm upgrading my Ram to G-Skill Trident Z5 32 G 6400 MHz and continuously getting the error code 53 when attempting to upgrade Ram.

The build works absolutely flawless with the aforementioned 5600 MHz RAM in the specs list.

Bios up to date, cmos battery replaced, seated Ram in every configuration possible, unplugged all usb's etc.

The 6400 Ram works fine in my Z690 Extreme build so ram is fine, is on the approved Ram list from Asus. Would like to see if any solution may be available.

The i5-12600 has official support for up to 4800MHz RAM. Anything beyond that is a RAM overclock. Most likely the integrated RAM controller on the CPU cannot handle an overclock of 1600MHz.
