Should I get for example cl30 5600mhz 2x48gb or cl32 6400-6600 mhz?

Wondering whether I'll actually be able to run 6600 mhz ram.

So I've posted about the problem I've been facing earlier, in regards to my 5200 mhz ddr5 (4x32gb = 128gb) kit only showing 2000 mhz run speed on my 14900k.

The XMP profile is currently set to 'auto'.

I've seen most people say that you can run 4 slots safely at 4800 mhz.

But I'm pretty rusty when it comes to XMP profiles, so I'm wondering whether there's any reason why I shouldn't set the XMP to 'Profile 2' which looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/diy1oXc.jpg

I.e. is there any risk or damage I could do?

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.
