Question Memory help

[JonPeyton]

Hello!
I recently bought/put together my dream PC as a retirement gift for myself.I have a great deal of experience dealing with general PC hardware however I have very little dealing with setting up RAM from scratch.That's what I was told I must do in order to utilize the RAM kit I purchased. Apparently I wasn't paying attention when I ordered the DIMMS because this kit is made for an AMD chip based system not an Intel one. Here is a complete rundown of my parts for this build.

Intel i9 13900KS
Gigabyte RTX 4090 24G
EVGA z790 Classified motherboard
Corsair DDR5 Dominator Platinum 5600 MHz 16G Dimms x4
EVGA 1600w SuperNova G+ PSU

So you can see the RAM is not ready for XMP in fact it has AMD's XPO configuration listed as to use. As I said above, I have been told that there is no problem that I should be able to manually configure my current RAM kit to use XMP rather that XPO but I haven't a clue where to begin.I've seen RAM timings mentioned in the BIOS but wasn't comfortable changing anything without some help or at least guidance!

Thank you for reading and possibly helping!

Im not sure if this matters but..My last PC I had a custom loop (well 2) one for CPU one for GPU. It did fine but I just didn't want that level of setup difficulty this time so I opted for an AIO cooler for the CPU on this rig.Thought it might matter.

you need bios 1.07 for your cpu and see it you could return for imcompatibility and use the link starting at page 9 for ram compatibility and samsung b-die do a good job https://pangoly.com/en/compatibility/evga-z790-classified/ram

Your memory gets set to 36-36-36-76 with 1.25 volts and speed 5600

Thank you scout_03! I think I do have that version of BIOS updated. Amazon is always good about returns but I think it's been too long 🙁. Thank you for the suggestions and the link is def. spot on.

i would try to contact corsair costumer service to see if they could help get the needed ram in exchange of this one .
