hello, i recently built a new pc but im having problem activating EXPO for the ram.
when i do put expo, motherboard has a static orange light and it wont boot.
i have updated bios, to the new version and still the same problem.
im fairly new in pc building, but i went and looked up QVL list with my motherboard to see if the ram had a comptability issue. the thing i found is when i got in ASUS Tuf QVL list i see that my ram that i bought says it only uses XMP and not EXPO but on the ram itself it says ADM Expo ready.
See this screenshot, my ram set is
F5-6000J3238G32GX2-TZ5N |
my exact part number doesnt show up on Asus TUF qvl list, and the similar code with same spec 30-40-40-96 6000mhz says only XMP.
Would getting another ram set fix that is on the QVL List fix my issue?
Because right now it says its running at 4800 which is fine but if i pay for a 6000mhz ram it would be nice to run at this speed.
Thank you and sorry for bothering.

Hello @Blacekled
Thank you for reaching out to us.
Based on your description, the memory you currently have installed is F5-6000J3040G32GX2-TZ5N, and after clearing CMOS and leaving all BIOS settings at default, the system is able to POST and boot. However, the DRAM Q-LED indicator lights up after enabling EXPO.
Could you please confirm whether the memory is installed in the recommended slots as outlined in the user manual?
The memory overclocking settings in BIOS (such as XMP, EXPO, DOCP, AEMP) may vary depending on the memory specifications. We recommend setting it to EXPO I, DOCP I, or AEMP, as these overclocking profiles are optimized by ASUS.
However, as you may already notice, the F5-6000J3040G32GX2-TZ5N is not listed in the TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WIFI QVL.
If you continue to experience instability with the memory, we suggest setting Ai Overclock Tuner to [Manual] and manually adjusting parameters such as voltage, frequency, timings, and PMIC to achieve the most stable overclocking configuration for your build.
Alternatively, you may want to cross-test with memory modules listed in the QVL.
Thank you.
