Will I run into trouble with running this ram on MSI B650i Edge Wifi? Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 - 32GB (2x16)- CL30 (CMK32GX5M2B6000C30)
CPU: Ryzen 7600X
GPU will be RTX 4070 Ti Super (for now I'm running on igpu)

The Q is should I replace the RAM with tested AMD EXPO, or at least from the MSI QVL?
So far there is no sign of trouble, but have only been using it for a couple of weeks, and not with gaming. I overclocked to 6000 MHz with one of the standard/prebuild (don't remember the name) choices in BIOS. It's the only one I've tried and it seems to work perfectly, as in no BSOD and no warnings and reclocking. But will there be lower performance, even if it doesn't show at first?
 
QVL is recommended, though others will work as well.

If you're gonna use EXPO then, a tested kit would be best, but that doesn't mean untested kits wont work.

if its decent quality RAM, I doubt there will be any.

Thanks! It doesn't say anything about EXPO in BIOS, but I chose A-XMP-profile>AUTO. Then it overclocked from 4800 to the advertised 6000 MHz on this memory. (the RAM is marked as Intel XMP by the way)
