Phoronix: Crucial Pro DDR5-6000 32GB Memory Kit

Crucial last week announced the launch of their newest Crucial DDR5 Pro Memory: Overclocking (OC) Edition in white heatspreader form. Crucial recently sent over a pair of these 2 x 16GB Crucial Pro DDR5-6000 UDIMM memory kits that we've been putting through the paces with Intel Core i9 14900K and AMD Ryzen 9 7950X systems. These new Crucial Pro DIMMs have been working out very well and align with the great quality we've long enjoyed from Crucial/Micron.

Having a white option is cool, that would look nice in my build. I have a 96GB kit of theirs in black (2x 48GB @ 5600). Zero issues. Expo settings worked with one click in UEFI.

"mess of RGB products dominating the market these days."

Personally, I think RGB is pointless. More power draw, heat, and another point of failure. Just what you need on a ram module.

I think one of the few good use of LED is the mouse scroll wheel. At least on mice where the LEDs colour indicate the DPI setting.

Hahaha, there's nothing personal about it. LED-lit RAM is completely and utterly pointless, in fact it's more than
considerably pointless, unless you take it as an IQ test of course

The End.

Years ago, Corsair released some XMS Pro RAM with LEDs on the top. It didn't need software, it didn't need any RGB controller, what it did do was fill up along the bar as the RAM got used. It flickered when accessed.

This was actually useful as I could, at a glance, determine whether my computer was actually busy doing something or whether it had frozen. This was back in the days of Windows XP SP1 and Adobe Flash and single cores, so occasionally something would chew up so much CPU time it would look like the PC had locked up. If the LEDs on the RAM were going crazy, system was still doing something. If LEDs on the RAM were static, the system had crashed.

This is one of the few uses I ever had for any sort of LEDs beyond a HDD activity LED, and I wish someone would do something similar again without needing extra software, etc.

The 96GB kit of theirs is far more interesting. 32GB DDR5 with CAS in the 40s is nothing new and rather slow nowadays. My kit does 36 and there are kits out there pushing 28.

This is non-ECC RAM.

We really should stop talking about or promoting non-ECC RAM, no matter how "fast" this unreliable RAM claims to be.

ECC RAM is generally a lot slower (and has much worse timings as well) than normal RAM, thus it's reserved only for those who care about reliability rather than performance. And for Intel that means buying into W680 which is a lot more expensive than ECC-free chipsets.

And oh boy ECC DDR5 RAM is rare and expensive as hell.

CL36 for DDR5 6000Mt/s is slow for now a days, should be at least CL30 and a good price in order to stay competitive. I am running my R7 7700 with DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) with CL30 (default was CL32), which is based on Hynix M-Die (A-Die being the best for overclockers) from Chinese KingBank manufacturer and got it for only USD90.
