Apologies in advance if this is too OT.
I recently installed a new system based on an MSI B650-P motherboard with an AMD Ryzen 7600 and Corsair DDR5 RAM. The RAM specs show a recommended frequency of 5200 MHz, but the UEFI screen shows it running at 4800MHz (even though it also notes the correct spec). Here's a screenshot link:

The MSI docs are atrocious and I can't see any way of changing the DRAM frequency.
Not a big deal really but if anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate the feedback.
Having recently (within the last year), built a new server, here's what I did.
Step 1: bought all the hardware: motherboard, case, RAM, HDDs, video card.
Step 2: hooked everything up
Step 3: turned everything on
Step 4: Profit
The server also used DDR5 RAM, I only know it because I used pcpartpicker.com to prepare the list of components I needed to buy, and the line item for the RAM modules said "DDR5". I have no idea what actual frequency they run on, and I don't care. They work. The server runs.
