Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my RAM speed. When I boot up my PC, it shows that my DRAM is running at 4800MHz, but I have it rated for 6000MHz. I've enabled EXPO, but it doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Have you tried updating your BIOS? Sometimes that can resolve speed issues with RAM. Just a thought!
Make sure to enable XMP in the BIOS settings for your RAM to run at its full speed. Sometimes it's just a matter of setting that option correctly.
You can check your RAM's actual frequency using a software like CPU-Z. Go to the Memory tab there and see what it says. Keep in mind that DDRAM is double data rate, so 3000MHz doubled would be 6000MHz. If it's not showing that, let us know your CPU, RAM, and motherboard specs!
I have CPU-Z, and it shows the DRAM Frequency around 3000 MHz, fluctuating a bit. My specs are an Asus Tuf Gaming B850-Plus Wifi, AMD Ryzen 9800X3D CPU, XFX Mercury Radeon RX 9070 XT GPU, and G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 32 GB (2x16) DDR5-6000 CL30 RAM.
I did update it before turning on EXPO, but it's still not working.
