Can I run Expo with XMP ram?

//edit - it seems to run fine under Expo settings

Hey guys. I may well of bought the wrong ram (and the wrong mobo! Asus 670E):

I'd like to run it at the tested 6000mhz speed and only just realised it's rated as XMP.

Doesn't usually matter, AMD boards can work with XMP or EXPO. Whether you want to enable it or not, i wouldn't want to say

I'm hoping after the new bios update it's safe enough - but will probably hang on for a while!

Cheers for the info btw. There's the option to run as Expo 1 & 2 in the bios and it shows the new target speed will be 6000mhz if applied, i'm just not sure if it read that from the ram or if those options are always there.

I run non-expo ram on a B650E-E.

All it did was change the option box in bios from EXPO to DOCP - runs fine

( if i insert EXPO ram it says EXPO in the option box )
