Hi yuvaldo 👍 and Welcome to the Forum :)


The highest speed your MB supports is 6000Mhz OC so 6400MHz is beyond the limitations of the MB. There are no RAM kits available at 6400MHz that are tested and listed on the QVL. It is possible that future Bios changes will support beyond the current frequency however it's best to select what have been tested and listed on the QVL. https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/PRIME/PRIME-Z690-P/HelpDesk_QVL_Memory/

It is also important to choose your RAM kit based on what your CPU's IMC (Integrated Memory Controller) supports.
