Aurora R16, corsair 6000 mhz memory error
I bought the vengence DDR 5 32 GB 6000 Mhz memory but when my pc starts up it gives memory error. is it because I bought 6000 mhz instead of 5600 MT/s?

Is your motherboard compatible with DDR5?

When upgrade with third party memory, check with vendor (Corsair) or using their memory finder tool for compatible memory. Here is the specifications of memory used in your system.

The online Aurora R16 Documentation --> Owner's Manual page 18 states the validated memory. 6000 MHz is not validated.

R16 does not support XMP profiles, and 6000 Mhz is an XMP profile.
You will have to manually set the timings in the BIOS for 5600 Mhz, using the 6000 Mhz timings.
After it boots, you can use CPU-Z to read the embedded XMP profiles and see if there's a 5600 Mhz XMP profile. It will have tighter timings, so you should enter those if it has a 5600 profile.
It might still not boot, pending memory voltage requirements for those modules. You might have to lower the frequency even further down if it fails to boot.

I ended up returning it and getting this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BLTGP2JX?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
I read in the forum this will work. I hope I won't have to set anything up and it is automatic
