Question XMP question

[Min91]

Hello, i think i made mistake by buying - MSI PRO H610M-E motherboard,
i have DDR5 5600mhz cl 40 , 16gb x2 ram sticks, and 12100f CPU, motherboard supports XMP overclocking but CPU says max DDR5 4800mhz which makes no sense as i understand base frequency of DDR5 is 4800 so why even bother with XMP,
i read online that h610 mobo can't overclock ram more than CPU max frequency, so am i stuck with ddr5 4800mhz even if i have 5600mhz? maybe i don't understand something, if so i need to buy another mobo as having more powerful rams but not using full potencial makes no sense, Thank you !

IMC, (Internal Memory Controller) is in the CPU so it depends on CPU if it can be overclocked or/and how much.
