I enabled EXPO on my system, but when I start my PC, it's reporting that my RAM is running at 4800MHz instead of the advertised 6000MHz. Can anyone help troubleshoot this issue?

You might want to check your DRAM frequency using CPU-Z. Go to the Memory tab in the software; remember, DDR means double data rate, so if you see 3000MHz there, it should be effectively 6000MHz. If you're not seeing that, let us know your CPU, RAM, and motherboard specs!

I have CPU-Z running already, and it shows my DRAM frequency fluctuating around 3000 MHz. My setup includes an Asus TUF Gaming B850-Plus WiFi, an AMD Ryzen 9800X3D, and G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 32 GB (2x16) DDR5-6000 CL30. Is that normal?

Have you tried updating your BIOS? Sometimes that can help with memory performance issues. Just make sure to set EXPO again after the update!
