Address RAM issues – let’s configure it.
This was definitely my setup on a B650E-F. At EXPO I it didn’t function properly, but EXPO II performed perfectly. The issue is that the ASUS website still points to older UEFI versions before the profile renaming was completed. They clarify in the UEFI documentation that EXPO II uses the profiles exactly as they appear on the RAM.
I'm aware there were some BIOS versions where many ASUS boards struggled with DDR5 6000, while other speeds like 6200 and 5800 worked fine. It seems likely they might be using one of those older revisions, and updating the BIOS could resolve the problem.
@Alex Atkin UK That clarifies a lot. We've only used EXPO I once when my friend was setting up his PC; he reached out after I left about the BSOD problem. I just told him what to do to shut it down and never got a chance to come over and help. @RONOTHAN## True, while I'm updating the BIOS, my friend still uses a BIOS two versions behind the latest one. I'll test EXPO II now. Regarding my case—I'll get my RAM tomorrow and try it after work. Also, I realized I bought my current RAM from Corsair, so I can return it since I have 60 days left and not even half that has passed. Everything seems fine. Fingers crossed the new RAM works perfectly. Hope I don't need to ask for help again here.
Quick update for those interested: @RONOTHAN## @Alex Atkin UK I did exactly what those fine gentlemen said - switched from 4x16GB 5600Mhz CL36 from QVL list that was certified for XMP to 2x32GB 6000Mhz CL30 certified for EXPO and enabled EXPO II on my Asus board and the system is rock solid now! Everything works even after extensive stress tests. Moreover my friends system also works perfectly fine now - he also needed to just turn on EXPO II on his Asus board and he has Corsair Vengeance 6000Mhz CL30 2x16GB kit (SKU: CMH32GX5M2B6000Z30K). Gotta say - those 2 sticks of Doms Titanium look almost as sexy as 4 sticks of Doms Platinum Anyway, many thanks again for helping me solve my issue and convincing me to ditch 4 sticks!
