A question regarding Ram

I have bought a Kingston Fury 16 GB 5200 RAM. And I want to purchase an AM5 motherboard. Specifically Gigabyte B650 GAMING X AX. My problem is that on support part of the website it has only checked intel XMP and not AMD EXPO. Does that mean the AMD EXPO is not compatible with my RAM? There is also a sticker on my RAM package that says "XMP certified". It is really confusing me.

It likely will still work I have only "XMP certified RAM" in both my laptop and my Desktop, with my laptop running 2x32 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM from Crucial with a Ryzen 4800H (with it running at advertised speeds) and my Desktop using the XMP profile for my 3600 MHz DDR4 Patriot Viper Gaming Steel 4x32 in my system with the Asrock Phantom Gaming 4, and my 5900X is running at advertised speeds. Though do note that the RAM compatibility for DDR5 is not as robust as DDR4 yet.

In search of the future, new tech, and exploring the universe! All under the cover of anonymity!

Is only one stick? You really want two sticks. If 2x8gb it would be ok. And yes the ram works with no problems, recently made a pc for a friend with same ram and motherboard. Only he got a 2x16gb kit. Board is super solid btw.

No. I bought a dual-stick RAM.

Then it's no problem just use slot A2 and B2
