Beggars can't choose, but it's CL36 EXPO RAM for those interested.

*Intel XMP* (Extreme Memory Profile) is a technology developed by Intel that allows users to easily load pre-configured, tested settings (frequency, voltage, and timings) for their memory modules in the BIOS to achieve higher performance than the standard JEDEC specifications.

*AMD EXPO* (Extended Profiles for Overclocking) is AMD's equivalent technology for their platforms (specifically for DDR5 RAM on AM5 motherboards). Like XMP, it simplifies the process of memory overclocking to attain the advertised speeds and improved performance, particularly for gamin

There's often nothing inherently "wrong" with CL36 EXPO RAM, but its stability at 6000MHz on AMD platforms (like Ryzen 7000) can be tricky, leading to boot failures, Blue Screens (BSODs), or errors because it's an overclock, not default, requiring proper motherboard BIOS/AGESA support, sufficient CPU IMC (Memory Controller) quality, and correct voltages (SoC, VDDQ) for stability, especially with Samsung or Micron ICs. Common fixes involve BIOS updates, manually adjusting voltages (like SoC), lowering speed slightly (5800MHz), or using different profiles (EXPO II).

Thx for AI content. I only said it was EXPO b/c some other deal for AMD AM5 mobo was comboed with XMP RAM (which generally is fine but perhaps not a "1-click" BIOS setting depending on the mobo)..
