Crucial - Pro 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 5600MHz C46 UDIMM Desktop Memory - Black

----- SUMMARY ----- Verdict: I’m glad I decided to upgrade my RAM and chose the Crucial Pro 32GB Kit. These RAM modules have helped me eliminate slowdowns, even with performance-demanding programs and games running. There’s nothing fancy about the design, but I like the sleek and modern look. The Crucial Pro 32GB Kit is a good value that delivers on its performance promise. Pros: - Sleek design and modern look - High-quality aluminum heat spreader - Easy installation (may vary based on PC) - Exceptional performance Cons: - None ----- DETAILS ----- Installation: Since the installation steps may vary from PC to PC, I won’t go into detail. However, I think it’s worth mentioning that I had no issues installing this Crucial Pro 32GB Kit on my Alienware Aurora R13 desktop. I had two open slots, and the Crucial RAM modules slid in easily. My PC recognized the newly installed RAM as expected. Design: From basic designs without a case to those with RGB lighting, you can find a wide array of RAM module designs on the market. I’m going for a sleek and simple look for my PC, so the matte black aluminum heat spreader on the Crucial Pro 32GB modules is just what I was looking for. The aluminum feels high quality and gives the RAM modules a modern look. Features & Performance: The standout feature of the Crucial Pro 32GB Kit is its speed. DDR5 is up to 1.75x faster than DDR4 (5,600MT/s vs 3,200MT/s). Just make sure your PC supports DDR5 memory, as it’s not backward compatible with DDR4. Where you do have some flexibility is the speed. These RAM modules are downclock-capable, so if your PC only supports 4,800MT/s, they can operate at that speed. That’s the case for my PC, and it works flawlessly. Multitasking and gaming with these Crucial RAM modules installed is a joy. I tend to have numerous tabs and several programs running at once, and I feel like they’re all running at 100% speed. Before, I could see my PC struggling a bit with the workload. Gaming doesn’t disappoint either. I’m seeing higher frame rates than before and no screen tearing. ----- WHAT’S IN THE BOX ----- 2 x 16GB DDR5 RAM Modules

My goal was to build an affordable gaming computer on a budget. I started with the ASUS TUF GAMING A620M-PLUS WIFI motherboard and added components that were compatible with the AMD Expo overclocking technology. I specifically stuck with Asus because they have come out and publicly stated they would support overclocking using AMD Expo and it would not void the warranty. In a gaming computer every component could be the weakest link, so I chose carefully. For RAM I went with Crucial, a company whose products I’ve used for many years. They have never failed me, and I trust their product quality and warranty. I chose their 5600 MHz DDR5 Pro 32GB RAM Kit (2 x 16GB), which while almost the same price as the motherboard is well worth it. Crucial supports AMD Expo on Intel and AMD platforms for overclocking. I went on to build the rest of the system using other quality components from companies that have been around for years. The result is a gaming computer that came in just under $1,500 (USD). It’s super easy to spend a lot on components, but you really don’t need to if you match them well (and catch some sales). Plus, people will throw a lot of money buying the top component in each category and then never use the system to its full potential. This system is perfect for all my gaming needs (and business needs too). The Crucial memory is a critical part of this configuration. It’s fast, reliable, comes from a company that I trust, and is compatible with AMD Expo (and Intel XMP 3.0). I ran a battery of memory tests, and they are all impressive and reflect the performance numbers that you can find on Crucial’s website. For me I am happy that my system is rock-solid stable, boots quickly, I’ve not received any indication of memory errors (even during overclocking). All my video games play smoothly and at high frame rates. There are several memory manufacturers, several of them offer less expensive options. But why risk it for a few extra dollars. Crucial is owned by Micron Technology, a $30 billion company that has been around since 1978. With a limited lifetime warranty on their products, I don’t waste time looking for cheaper options. 5 Stars!

If i could give this memory more stars i would. So you bought that shiny new 12th Gen Intel Core or AMD Ryzen 7000 Series cpu and motherboard. So you look in disgust at your 32,64 or 128 gig of DDR 4 memory and you can't use it. Well i know it sucks because you spend your hard earned money from mowing lawns all summer to buy your DDR4 memory but it's not compatible with the new cpu you just bought. But in a way it's a good thing. So the memory in my old system is DDR4 3600 and that's fast for DDR4 But the new DDR5 memory stock speed is DDR5 5600 so rite off your looking at a 2000 difference. DDR5 compared to DDR4 is supposed to be anywhere from 50% to 100% faster than the DDR4 series memory. So out of the game your system will definitely feel a lot more responsive when doing something as little as loading a webpage depending on your internet speed also to loading windows 11 or starting a game and loading your maps in games. I was pleasantly surprised how much faster my world of tanks game loaded to start the game and when starting a battle and once the battle was over getting back to the garage screen. It has a lot more zip now and i mean i can easily tell the difference because it cut down about 4 to 10 seconds in loading the game to starting and ending a battle. So this 32 gig set out performed my 64 gig set of DDR4 memory hands down. Now you have to know this DDR5 memory is keyed like your DDR4 memory but it will not fit in your DDR4 memory slots because it's not keyed the same and even if you somehow made it fit DDR4 motherboards will not use DDR5 memory so your system would not boot anyways even if like i said somehow you made it fit. DDR5 memory uses less power also just a little tidbit for overclockers so you mite be able to squeeze more speed out of your DDR5 emory than you could your old DDR4 memory.Also note that if you get a shiny new motherboard that supports DDR5 memory those boards are not backwards compatible to use DDR4 memory unless there is a motherboard out there i do not know about but not saying there is not i just do not know of any and it's because of the key setup on your memory slots. They normally do that so you don't put your memory in backwards and i have seen a lot of people try to do that. So if you already have a new next gen AMD or Intel motherboard and you are looking for a decently priced 32 gig kit of DDR5 memory that is pretty fast your looking at the rite memory. They do make faster DDR5 memory than this i have seen 6000 and 7200 also but you will easily pay double the price for that memory. They also make DDR5 memory that is slower but why would you want that,you mite save a few bucks but you will definitely feel a performance hit with the slower memory. This memory is awesome for gaming and whatever else you are doing. So if your upgrading to a new system or looking for some nicely priced DDR5 memory that won't break the bank here you go. I highly recommend this memory, I can't recommend it enough it's great memory
