XMP

Should I enable XMP to use ram at 5200 retail if my CPU recommends 4800?

Yes if it is stable

Absolutely. If its runs stable ( shouldn't be much of an issue     Its free performance!, even though you did pay for the RAM.

It did boot but after it switched itself off for about 6 seconds when I switched it on, other than that it seems to be fine.  I just don't like the fact that it turned off for a few seconds before it continued.

True I paid for the advertised speed but unfortunately I never looked at the limitations of the cpu which states  Up to DDR5 4800

My 7700x say max speed at 5200mhz but I run my DDR5 at 6000mhz.

All DDR5 come at 4800mhz stock and the XMP is an overclock.  Of course it can have some complication if you go very high like 7200mhz but up to 6000mhz seems to be working on 99% of systems

Dont worry about your system turning off,  if it works now and is stable
