I recently installed a Crucial DDR5-6000 CL36 RAM kit on my ASUS B650 Plus WiFi motherboard, but I'm seeing some odd behavior in the BIOS. It lists the memory as DDR5-5200MHz in the info box, while in the DRAM status area, it shows 5600MHz. I've updated to the latest BIOS but haven't turned on EXPO yet because when I tried it previously, my PC got stuck at the POST screen, and I had to clear the CMOS. I haven't attempted enabling EXPO after the BIOS update. Can anyone help me understand what's going on?

Hmm, if CPU-Z shows a frequency of 2600MHz, that's actually DDR5-5200MHz when doubled. It should definitely be labeled as DDR5-6000 in the BIOS, considering the specs you mentioned. The CAS latency at 42 clocks does raise some questions too. Are you sure you got the right RAM kit? This doesn't seem normal.
