Inconsistent RAM Speed Readings on New PC Setup – Need Expert Insights! (14900k - 128gb ram) (alien.top)

I recently upgraded to a new computer and I'm encountering a bit of a puzzle with my RAM speeds. I'm hoping to tap into the community's knowledge to figure this out.

My Rig:

CPU: Intel 14900k
Motherboard: ASRock Z790 Steel Legend DDR5 ATX
RAM: Kingston Fury DDR5 128GB (4x32) at 5200MHz

The Issue:

Different monitoring programs are showing me varying RAM speeds, and I can't figure out which one to trust. Here's what they're saying:

Task Manager: 2000 MHz

CPU-Z: 997 MHz

HWINFO: 2600 MHz

XMP Profile Setting: The XMP profile is currently set to 'auto' but I have the option of Profile 1 and Profile 2.

My Questions:

Real RAM Speed: How can I accurately determine the current speed of my RAM?
Expected Performance: Considering I'm running 128GB of RAM, what's a realistic speed I should expect with that much capacity?
How do I increase my ram clock speed and is there any risk?

Thanks in advance.

I have no idea for 4x32GB but my 4x16GB 6600 XMP has been great on MSI Z790 Tomahawk WIFI + i9 13900K. This PC has been running 24/7 for almost a year.
