Recently got a deal on some Micron ECC memory so I picked up two 32GB SODIMMs and loaded them into this computer


They are PC-5600 DDR5 ECC 

 

They only run at 4800 mhz

 

Right now this computer has a 12-500 i5 

 

Is the memory clock speed a CPU limitation?

Or perhaps there is a BIOS setting?

 

I’ve been using Macs for so long that I **bleep** near forgot how PC memory works

Seems to be a CPU limitation. Assuming that you mean the Intel i5 12500 processor, it tops out at 4800Mhz.
