My unit is fully updated and both issues still remain.

Well maybe reach out to Lenovo because these issues have been resolved. I even have a 32gb DDR5 6400mhz kit in mine, enabled xmp and works perfectly at advertised speeds. You may have to download the bios update directly through their website vs the vantage app.

I did further investigation thanks to your comment, and Lenovo has released a BIOS update that evades both Lenovo Vantage and the Lenovo support page's scanner (which I checked multiple times for driver updates separately from Vantage). It's true, RAM speeds can now be adjusted after the update, and I've updated my review accordingly. It's certainly a positive, but doesn't affect the overall score or conclusion to my review.

Glad you were able to get it updated. You should enjoy some higher scores as well since my 13700kf version of this scores similar and higher in some of your benchmarks. Your overall conclusion was mostly positive anyways, I just wanted to clarify the ram issue mostly as it was a big negative for sure.
