Everything works, it's just that now the PC does not start from any set of RAM when the frequency is set above 3200MHz. (2400-2666-3000-3200 starts).

check if you over tightened the bolts on frame, and try old bios .
I mean. You can try it out or stay on JEDEC speed indefinitely. Just remember to use callipers - help tons.

So I've just rebuilt the bones of my aging i5 6600k with a 13600k on an MSI Z690 Pro D4.last Bios using mainly just CPU lite load mode 1 apart from 1.35v for 3ghz RAM. Pretty sure everything else default. And in HWINFO getting these ring alarms at idle which sounds like a bios bug? If anyone could fill me in a bit more I'd appreciate it. All seems nice and low temps etc. But SA Voltage appears locked at 1.451 volts even though in bios almost everything is set to auto... Any ideas or suggestions?
I have to agree with the experts here. It happened to me with the frame. I loosened the screws on the cooler block and it worked.
Ring alarms? SA Voltage locked at 1.451V is simply board setting this voltage skyhigh, what RAM do you force it to run?

Sorry 4000 I mean. I've manually set the timings for ir. It wouldn't get past 2133 or whatever xmp wouldn't do squat. I use PNY XLR8 Gaming Epic-X 4000. CL18 Gear 1.

I like the screenshot ability in the BIOS, I now realise how bad my old gigabyte z170x bios was...

Oh I didn't realise they'd updated the BIOS as well. maybe I should update and see if xmp works or if that's causing the voltage alarms
You're on the most recent bios. 1.42V on SA is "fine", if you want then you can try lowering it as low as possible, a 12900k I'm trying to sell requires just 1.22V on System Agent for 4000MHz B-Die Dual Rank to be y-cruncher VST stable, but my current dud - 12700k requires 1.35V.
Ehhhhhh
Do you or anyone by any chance have this bios file? I had some success with it and want to try it again. MSI have removed it so no clue where to get it. E7D25IMS.192 (7D25v192)

An update on the ring alarms PL4 and SA Voltage... I went back to default bios and SA went back to less than 1. The alarms still happen immediately on boot. After further forum searching it appears to be a bug or issue with HWINFO and the system agent voltage wasn't even causing the alarms.
Thanks for all assistance 😊

Well, I tightened the frame on the day of installation, so everything worked stably for six months! Most likely, the memory controller on the processor has degraded, or the motherboard has failed
7D25v19 is still on MSI. It's the stable version. 192 was beta, as you probably know.
Yeah I'm using 1.90 atm, just wanted to see if 1.92 was still better for me running specific settings. Tried looking around but I guess it's not possible to find it. Will just stick to this.
Found it
Thank you!

Who do I get the ring clock to stop dropping to 3600mhz?
No matter what I set in BIOS under load it drops to 3600mhz

Use Throttlestop, swap to cache p cores, and set ratio to desired one, you can also set min/max state on the right side but it's not necessary, leaving it as is makes cache VID dropping when in idle, when min=max it's basically your highest voltage delivered all the time, see my previous posts.
I'm still unsure about cache on 1.24U2 bios, it just seem very wacky to me, that the cache doesn't drop on that one and drops on newer, but maybe it's the Undervoltage Protection kicking in and being improperly implemented.
