	Hi! Please try the following: Enter the BIOS menu, load the EXPO profile DDR5-6000. Then, go to DRAM speed and select DDR5-5600. This way, the RAM will work with the EXPO voltage & timings, and only the DRAM speed will be a bit lower. Save changes & exit BIOS. Then, test the system with MemTest86 (it will take a few hours to complete). You'll need to create a bootable USB stick for it, and boot with it. For context: Your CPU, just like mine (R9 9950X), is guaranteed to run with DDR5-5600! Going above that speed is not a given! It's all about the silicone lottery: Some CPUs can hit higher frequencies than the official spec. Stability is more important than speed!
