Hey everyone! I just finished building my first computer, and I'm having some trouble with my RAM speed. I've got 64GB of Corsair Vengeance RAM rated at 6000 MT/S, but it's currently running at 4800 MT/S. I've searched through every BIOS setting trying to find an option to enable EXPO, but I can't seem to locate it. I see the XMP profile option available, but I learned that's primarily for Intel systems, and I'm working with an AMD setup. I want to make sure my RAM is performing at its intended speed. I've already updated my BIOS, installed Windows, and rebooted several times. My motherboard is an MSI B850 Gaming Plus WiFi paired with an AMD 7800x3D chipset. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

You should definitely be able to use the XMP profile. There’s usually a big button on the main BIOS screen that says something like 'Enable XMP' or 'Enable EXPO'. Just hit that button! If you're not seeing it, double-check your motherboard manual for guidance. Avoid manually changing the speeds and timings if you can; let the profile do the work for you.
I went ahead and enabled it, but it keeps reverting back to the default speed every time I reboot.
