Need guidance on OC DDR 5600 RAM

Hi,

After two months of waiting, i finally received my Corsair Vengeance DDR5 5600 2x16 memory.

my kit:

ROG STRIX z690-F motherboard
i7 12700KF
MSI SUPRIM X 3080ti
Windows 11


First of all, i know it's not on the QVL for my motherboard, but I'm happy to confirm at stock settings the memory runs fine and passed a Memtest with no errors, with the ram currently sitting in slot 2 and 4 on the motherboard (A2 & B2 i think, the manual suggested it that way).

Now as i understand it, my ram is only currently running at 4800Mhz speed.

With respect to my motherboard, could I please get some guidance on what settings I need to change in order to have my ram running at 5600 Mhz rather than 4800mhz?


I've not done this before, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated!


TIA

**update**
I'm now using the xmp II profile that comes with the ram which is running at 5600.
So far so good, passed the memtest with no errors.

When I check cpu-z.
I see a dram reading of 2800, and the individual reading for both sticks of ram under xmp is 2800 also.
Timings are 36-36-36-76.
Given the ram is running Dual mode, I'm assuming this is what I'm supposed to see and the xmp profile is working?

DDR = Double Data Rated so yes 2800mhz times 2 equals 5600mhz.
