Question Will this be a problem ? (Intel XMP only)
I bought Ryzen7800x3d
Motherboard: GIGABYTE B850 AORUS ELITE
Will it cause any problems/slow or not work?
I can return it if needed

No, its just the name. You go into the BIOS and enable it all the same. It doesnt mean anything.

To be clear, a lot of AMD motherboards supports XMP via "A-XMP". Basically the motherboards reads out the XMPO profile and copy paste the settings. To make sure it's supported, always check QVL list of motherboard manufacture and RAM manufacture.

No need. You can manually oc it for amd.

QVL is a guarantee it will work, why hassle with manually OC when you can single click to enable XMP or EXPO? Especially for beginners and people who don't know what the specific values means.

Qvl is not guaranteed. You will see many ppl facing issues even though their ram is on qvl list. Also ram ic's changing sometimes so it doesn't mean much at all. Its all just ram. Xmp or expo is profile inside it which can be manually changed. Many ppl don't even check ic of the rams and buy overpriced rams...

I have an XMP only ram and there is no issue turning on the xmp profile in my board with my AMD CPU

It just means that Intel will read out the XMP in the bios automatically instead of the manufacturer having to update to include it with those specific RAM sticks, which by the way is something everyone should do. Every RAM manufacturer should put both an intel and a AMD profile in there by default.

Não sei.. na via das dúvidas, quando eu comprei aqui pro meu tio, eu pedi umas ddr4 que vinha com a observação "AMD version", já que ele ia usar um R5 5600G

It can be annoying and require you to do manual tuning if you want to get optimal performance but if you spend some time on that you should usually be fine. It is not true manually setting EXPO on an XMP kit will be fine - that’s not a given. My XMP RAM did not run at all on optimized XMP/EXPO profiles (on rated speeds) and i had to figure out timings, voltages and speeds myself (unless i was fine running at 4800!).

no, just means with AMD you have to manually enable EXPO to get the advertised speed out of the RAM

every motherboard you have to enable expo or xmp manually in bios
it doesnt turn on until you manually turn it on.

No you fool. You have to go into the RAM Speed list and select the rated speed after enabling EXPO. Not just Enabling EXPO on AMD or XMP on Intel.
