I recently built a new PC with a Ryzen 5 9600X processor, B850 Eagle WiFi 6E motherboard, a 5060 Ti graphics card, and 16GB of Kingston Fury RAM that's rated at 6000MHz CL36. It's on my motherboard's QVL, so I thought it would work well. However, I'm facing some issues when I enable the EXPO profile in the BIOS to achieve the 6000MHz speed. My computer tends to restart randomly and sometimes shows a black screen. Windows even reports memory issues when I run the memory test.
When I revert the RAM setting back to the default of 4800MHz, everything works fine without any reported issues. I've also tried using OCCT for stress testing, but it inconsistently shows errors related to physical core 5. My goal is to maximize RAM speed—what should I try? Should I manually set the frequencies, or use a different XMP mode? I'm currently testing profile 2, which sets it to 5600MHz and am seeing memory issues there too. Any advice would be appreciated!

Have you tried just enabling EXPO without manually selecting a profile? Letting the BIOS determine the settings might solve your stability problems without needing to tweak anything yourself.
I’m not entirely sure how to do that. When I go to the BIOS advanced menu, I see options for Auto, Enabled, and Disabled, but I'm not clear on what to select to let it auto-detect.
