I'm in a bit of a bind with my new PC build. I've got an AORUS B650 ELITE X AX ICE motherboard, a Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor, an ASUS RTX 5070 graphics card, a Lexar 1090 SSD, and 32GB of Crucial 6400MHz RAM. However, when I powered it on, it got stuck at the 'AMI' screen and pressing 'DEL' only took me to 'Entering boot...'. After checking the motherboard manual, I found out that it supports RAM speeds of 4800/5200MHz, which is why I returned my RAM. Now the only RAM I can get quickly is the CMK64GX5M2B5200C40, but it's labeled as 'C40' for Intel. Is it safe to use it with my AMD setup?

Yes, the Intel XMP profile should work with AM5 boards. Once you get your system booted up, you can enable the XMP profile in the BIOS to reach the full speed of the RAM.
Is it easy to do? Like, will I have to tweak a lot of settings?
