Recently built a new rig Asus x870i Kingston Fury Beast 32GB 6000mts CL36 AMD 9800x3d ASU’s prime 5080 850W ASU’s Loki power supply The system works just fine without EXPO enabled but if I enable it after a few minutes of window 11 running it blue screens with a ‘IRQL not equal or less’ error. I’ve updated the motherboard iOS, the next thing to look at is manually lowering the ram speed. I’m wondering if I just swap them for some other sticks as I’m paying for 6000mts performance and very quickly approaching my return window. Is there anything else I should try first?

Kingston Fury Beast 32GB 6000mts CL36 Which specific model? Can try on returning and gambling on other sticks. Can also try manually setting lower speeds, looser timings and/or higher voltages. Having windows boot at all suggests you're pretty close to working settings so may not have to do a lot. I’m paying for 6000mts performance You're kinda not, the EXPO (or XMP) profile is only an overclocking suggestion not a guarantee, and your CPU's only officially rated to run RAM up to 5600MT/s
Tbh this is my first time looking at expo/xmp so I’m not really sure what to suggest. Which of those 3 settings should I tweak first ?
Speed's going to make the biggest difference so if you've got a step between 5600 and 6000 i'd try that first
the ram should have the native expo profile to run expo without crashing, for example, i bought 6400mhz cl 36 g.skill ripjaws s5. but it didn't have native expo profile, so it crashed when being set at 6400 cl36 , so i returned it and bought 6000 mhz cl 36 g.skill flare x5 which had expo profile. Just return the ram and exactly say this : " i paid for 6000 mhz and cl36 but i can't get 6000 mhz cl36 because expo doesn't work and it's not stable " because when expo is off , you're getting like 4800 mhz with bad cl .check occt too. when
