Ryzen 9 7950X
NZXT B550 Mobo
Trident z5 RGB 2 x 16gb sticks
I keep switching to profile XMP Profile 1 that switches it to 6000 (as advertised) and 1.35v and it does not boot up.
I am using A2,B2. I can’t figure out how to update the bios.
I have not tried lowering to 5800 etc. I don’t see the point why wouldn’t I be able to over clock to 6k any suggestions idea why this is happening?
Please I just have a new rig I built and I want to push max settings thanks

I’ve also switched between 1.25 V -1.5V and nothing I don’t understand
Your fan configuration is a seriously elementary level flaw.
Also, your CPU cooler is oriented incorrectly, unless you specifically were aware of the issue that can develop and took precautions to eliminate it during install.
Pretty sure you have your RAM installed correctly (YAY!) unless your motherboard doesn’t use the standard RAM installation order. I have seen a few motherboards where the standard slot order was different, but every motherboard for the most part details it in their manual.
You can’t just go straight to Max OC if you’re unaware of basic level knowledge, even though OCing today is far easier than it was even 5-10 years ago.

***Your motherboard doesn’t support DDR5 RAM and it doesn’t appear to support the CPU you have listed.***
(I’m an Intel guy, not big on AMD, but the manual says 3000, 4000, and 5000 CPU and only lists DDR4 RAM it supports with no mention of DDR5.)
If you want to get into OCing you want the Z series motherboards, B series are usually like a basic/little to no OC, level. Your motherboard is going to be the main component that gives you the freedom to OC, regardless of what CPU or RAM you put in. Most motherboards have different locked parameters, the easy way to remember is, the higher up the alphabet you go, the more freedom you get, for the most part.
Figure out how to update bios and it should be easy plug and play
Edit. What is with that aio positioning. Yikes
Oh god that pump is gonna run dry af
immediately put that aio radiator at the top
