Need help on ram

Guys 2 days ago I built my first pc and I bought a 16gb ram (3600mhz) from hyper x fury and I have a gigabyte z590 ud ac motherboard. The problem is that I can’t put it on 3200mhz when I’m in bios, there’s only 2 profile which is 2933mhz and 3600mhz. My cpu is an 11400 i5 and it support at 3200mhz.

thanks in advance for those who’ll help me

The 3200MHz is just the highest JEDEC standard supported by the CPU. Anything over that is an overclock, and that's what the XMP profiles are. Your options are basically XMP or not. You don't have to set it to 3200MHz.

So, on last question, can I put it on 3600mhz on an i5 11400? What will happen?

It should just work. If it doesn't, we can go from there, but applying XMP is pretty standard faire at this point.

If the BIOS lists a RAM profile for DDR4-3600, then enable the profile, save and exit BIOS. The worse that can happen is the computer might revert back to default settings or may have to clear CMOS and set it to the 2933Mhz, or manually set the timings for DDR4-3200.

3200mt/s is not a Jedec standard. XMP stands for Extreme Memory Profile. 

Jedec only goes up to 2667mt/s. All other memory is DOCP/XMP profiles beyond that frequency.

All options will be listed in the DRAM frequency list, which you can apply any of them with XMP enabled or not. 

When setting the XMP profile, this will set the timings First and secondary timings that belong to either XMP profile along with the memory voltage for that rated speed.

Almost all XMP rated memory will default to the 2133mhz rated Jedec frequency.
