I'm having an issue where my PC shows that my RAM is running at 4800MHz instead of the expected 6000MHz, even though EXPO is enabled. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Try downloading CPUZ if you haven't already. Once you run it, check the Memory tab to see the actual DRAM frequency. Remember, DDR means double data rate, so if you see 3000MHz there, it should essentially represent 6000MHz. If you're not seeing that, let us know your CPU, RAM, and motherboard details!
Don't forget to enable XMP in your BIOS! That can sometimes make the difference in achieving your desired speeds.
Have you considered updating your BIOS? Sometimes new updates can help stabilize memory speeds, especially with new modules.
I actually updated the BIOS right before I enabled EXPO. Didn't seem to help, though.
I have CPUZ installed. It shows my DRAM frequency fluctuating around 3000MHz, going up and down by a couple MHz. Does that mean I'm okay? Here are my specs: Asus Tuf Gaming B850-Plus Wifi motherboard, AMD Ryzen 9800x3d CPU, XFX Mercury Radeon RX 9070 XT GPU, and G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 32GB (2x16) DDR5-6000 CL30 RAM.
