Long story but my intel 19-13900k was refunded from intel. I decided to go AMD. The memory I bought G..Skill 6400 DDR5 works on my x890e but it has no expo. When I set it to AXMP1 I get blue screens. On standard it's stable 5600. I used memory try it and set it to my dram 6400 and appears to run fine.
The question is should I buy new ram the has the expo feature or leave what I have?
I usually have lots open while playing games (security cameras, windows, fan controller, etc)

By the way, my memory is not on the qvl but the silver and white versions are,
