Question PC won't boot after enabling A-XMP or EXPO or changing DRAM frequency to 6000

[seanak]

Hello, I put together my first PC recently and installed RAM with an advertised speed of 6000mhz. However, when I turn on A-XMP or EXPO or change the DRAM frequency to 6000 my PC won't start and the motherboard displays a yellow LED signalling a problem with DRAM. I then clear the cmos to get my PC to start but it's stuck on the default speed of 4800mhz. I'm new to PC stuff so my understanding is quite poor.

CPU: AMD RYZEN 5 7600x
Motherboard: MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI
RAM: Corsair VENGEANCE® 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 DRAM 6000MT/s CL36 Memory Kit — Black
