Hey everyone, I could really use some help with my RAM setup. I've got a 32GB Corsair Vengeance CL36 kit, but I'm having issues getting it to work with my Gigabyte motherboard. No matter what EXPO settings I try, or even when I attempt manual tuning, the board just bricks and I have to reset the CMOS. Right now, the RAM is stuck at 4800MT/s. I'm using a 9800x3d CPU with it. Whenever I try to push the RAM past that speed, I end up getting a DRAM or VGA indicator light. I switched to this board after my previous one, an ASRock, fried my CPU!

Try setting the RAM speed to 6000MT/s after enabling EXPO. 6400MT/s might be pushing it for your CPU and motherboard combo. Also, check if your RAM has other EXPO profiles for lower speeds—it could save you some hassle. Just a heads up, when you turn on EXPO, the motherboard goes into memory training mode, which can take a few minutes the first time you boot up.
Have you tried changing the slots your RAM sticks are in? It might help to use just one stick at a time to see if that makes a difference. I think that's a good first step to troubleshoot this issue.
