9800X3D RAM buying guide by Buildzoid

Does anyone know if and how you can manually decrease the DRAM frequency through the Gigabyte bios

For example go down to 5600 or 4800 from 6000

Yes you can set manual DRAM speed on nearly all boards.

I don't know Gigabyte BIOSes well enough to tell you where exactly it is, a quick Google suggests it's on the main advanced page and it's probably the system memory divider option or one of the two below that.

Are you able to change the frequency when EXPO is turned on or does EXPO make it run at the fastest frequency

EXPO is just a set of overclocking profiles baked into the memory that you can choose from within the motherboard's BIOS.

If you use EXPO, it will just use whatever speed is set for your chosen profile. Note that some sticks only have one EXPO profile.

If you leave EXPO turned on and choose a manual frequency, it will keep very similar settings (voltages, timings, etc), but I don't know if all boards support this option.
