CPU: Intel Core i5-10400F
GPU: ASUS DUAL RTX 3060 12GB
SSD: Kingston A400 480GB
HDD: Hitachi HDS721050CLA362 500GB
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200 C16 2x8GB
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-B560M DS3H V2

I can turn on XMP on BIOS, only 1 profile exists, if I try to boot with 3200mhz, it just wont boot and goes to bios

I tried manually setting to 2666mhz and it works, but is there any way I can get 3200 or atleast 3000 on my B560M mobo?

My mobo says maximum supported for i5's is 2666mhz, can I overclock it to 3000 and how?

Go to the SPD tab and there will be a list of JEDEC and XMP timings that the RAM is reporting. Take a picture with your phone (etc.) or write notes down. Boot to BIOS and try to set those timings manually. Start with the slowest and loose timings and move up until you cannot boot properly.

The CAS# Latency and so on down that list should also be displayed in your BIOS. You might have to look up some of the other timings if they are present. Keep in mind, and as you see on the right side that XMP is also upping the RAM voltage (be aware that putting the wrong value here can break things). Considering the B chipset/power delivery on that motherboard it just may not be able to do it with those particular sticks.

I do find it a bit odd that the RAM is reporting the exact same JEDEC timings for each table and then jumps well up for the XMP setting.

Have you checked to see if the installed RAM is on the QVL?

Yes it's on the QVL list, suggested says 1.350v so that's fine

Should I turn off XMP and just set everything manually?

my CPU supports only 2666mhz, probably it's not letting the motherboard overclock the ram higher

Ok I tried manually, gave it 1.35v in BIOS, and only touched the freuqency, highest I could go was 2933mhz, it crashes at 3000mhz and gives me option to reset bios to defaults.

so I guess I'll leave it at that, I'm thinking the motherboard is hard locked at this frequency, plus the processor.

I just want to know, am I running at CL 16 in the previous screenshot I sent? Thank you
