Customer Ratings & Reviews

This RAM kit is the new understated-looks performance-buff king that I have put in my gaming PC. I am so pleased with multiple aspects of this RAM that I will share. First of all, it is the first RAM that my Intel i7 13700F CPU and Aorus Z790 motherboard seem to play well with together that has allowed me to enable the XMP profile and get the full 6400 MT/s speed that this RAM is capable of! My previous RAM, a Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB 6000 MT/s kit, was locked at 5600 MT/s in spite of multiple efforts and tutorials I followed to try to get my BIOS to behave with it. For a streamer and gamer, I really want every drop of performance out of all parts of my system that I can squeeze out of them, not to the extent of doing too much crazy overclocking that can introduce instabilities into the system (exactly what you DON’T want while running a stream). I am so grateful that I was able to toggle some simple settings in my BIOS and now I am getting full performance out of this RAM; going beyond the advertised 5600 MT/s max of the 13700F CPU! Going beyond the performance, the aesthetics and build quality of this crucial RAM is pristine. It is low profile enough as to be welcome in almost any ITX case I can think of. It also is beautiful to behold and does not contribute additional rainbow RGB vomit to my system. One of my HUGE pet peeves with the Corsair Vengance RAM is that the stinking RGB lights would not turn off when I put my PC to sleep! I would have to turn off the whole system to get perfect darkness out of my PC case. Now, I do not have to worry about that, all while getting the best performance I could have hoped for out of this economical and high performing RAM kit! Altogether, if you are avoiding flashly RGB in your system but still want performance out the wahzoo, I would absolutely consider getting this kit. DDR5 RAM is in an interesting place right now with the options available and I would say that Crucial hit the nail on the head with this one. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy your purchase!

Great memory if you are looking to upgrade or build a new system. Comes inside a slim pack. I love that it’s all black and without all that RGB no sense. If you want a sleek and sleeper build without RGB, this is it. Both sticks are of 16 Gigs each totaling 32 Gigs. They have a nice and slick heatspreader that has like a stealth fighter look, keeping the sticks cool. I love that they have both XMP and EXPO profiles for simple once click setup. (XMP for intel systems and EXPO for AMD AM5 ones). I have Ryzen 7 7800x3d and a x670e motherboard. Once installed, it was as easy as entering the bios and selecting the EXPO profile to get them to run at 6400MTs. Granted, this makes the system memory controller run in a 2 to 1 mode, very few CPUs can run at 6400MTs in 1 to 1 mode, depends if you win or not the silicon lottery on your CPU. Mine was able to run uclock and mem clock in 1 to 1 mode just fine, but YMMV. Still, even though you can’t, you can always downclock them to 6000Mts in 1 to 1 mode tightening the timings for good performance and still have a nice 6400Mts kit for future AMD chips with faster memory controllers! Since they also have an Intel XMP profile, you can use them in with Intel systems if you move onto such system. If you’re looking for a fast RAM kit, easy to use and with no RGB nonsense, this is the one for you, 16Gigs doesn’t cut it anymore these days, so 32Gigs is the new standard, go for it!

I needed to upgrade the RAM in a workstation to 32GB of DDR5. I didn’t want any RAM with RBG and needed a low profile. So of course, I go to one of my staple brands to check what they have, Crucial. That is when I found a kit of Crucial Pro OC Gaming 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6400MHz, which was a perfect fit for my build. Pros: - Simple and good RAM, No RBG. - Fast and Stable transfer rates for both Intel and AMD. - Low Profile heat sink. Cons: - None. Installation: The Crucial Pro OC Gaming RAM was as simple as RAM installs go; open package, open case, install on motherboard, go into bios to enable XMP/EXPO, and Restart. Done. The RAM worked at the advertised speeds the first time without any issues. This is one of the main reasons I chose Crucial, the RAM works exactly as I want it to. The heat sinks on these were the perfect height to not conflict with the air cooler, which has a fan over the RAM slots. Speeds: Most of the time, when you install a new component in a PC, it is best practice to go into Bios afterwards to confirm the hardware shows up correctly. Consult your Motherboard manual for how to get into Bios, for me it was spamming the “Delete” key on boot. For the RAM, the XMP or EXPO settings need to be enabled to achieve the advertised transfer rate, in this case that is 6400MT/s. After enabling XMP, I saved and restarted normally with no issues. After restart, the RAM showed up in Task Manager at 6400MT/s. I ran a few quick tests without issues, then it was off to work. The computer felt so much faster with the increased RAM. I was able to open more applications and work between tasks without the system slowing to a crawl. Conclusion: If you need a simple and fast set of RAM to upgrade your system to 32GB, without the RBG, the Crucial Pro OC Gaming RAM is a solid upgrade choice with the 6400MT/s and simple design. I’ll continue to use and recommend Crucial RAM for many future builds.

The Crucial Pro OC Gaming 32GB DDR5 6400MHz kit comes with 2 sticks of 16GB memory for a total of 32GB. According to the package, these memory sticks support both Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO memory profiles. According to CPU-Z, the memory sticks have the following SPD timings EXPO-6400/XMP-6400: 3200 MHz with 38-40-40-84 timings EXPO-6000/XMP-6000: 3000 MHz with 36-38-38-80 timings I installed the memory in my ASUS TUF Gaming X870-Plus WIFI motherboard. My motherboard defaults the memory speed to running at 5200MHz. In order to reach 6400MHz, you need to enable overclocking in the bios. Technically, to run memory faster than the default, you need to overclock it. With my ASUS motherboard, you can enable overclocking memory in the Advanced Settings mode under the Ai Tweaker menu. From there, you can set the memory to use different memory profiles such as Default, EXPO 1, EXPO 2, or MANUAL. I first tried the EXPO 2 setting (which uses the memory profile stored in the memory sticks) running at 6400MHz and everything initially seemed great, but I did experience occasional crashes when playing Black Myth Wukong. When the game crashed, it just exited back to the desktop, but it didn’t seem to affect any other programs afterwards. Other than that, the computer didn’t experience any issues with the memory running at 6400MHz. I experienced the same behavior when using the EXPO 1 setting at 6400MHz. I then tried the EXPO 1 setting (which uses the memory profile stored in the memory sticks along with some ASUS tweaks) running at 6000MHz and the computer was rock solid, and I did not experience any crashes when playing Black Myth Wukong. I usually like to test the stability of a computer by running games as it can stress both the CPU and graphics card. During testing, I noticed that a new bios (v0825) for my motherboard was available, so I flashed my motherboard with the new bios, but I was still unable to run the memory at 6400Mhz without experiencing occasional crashes in Black Myth Wukong. Because of this, I will probably leave the memory running at 6000MHz on my system. Running at 6000MHz does offer lower latency which can actually be better or faster in many use cases. It depends on the application. I’m not a big overclocker anyways so this doesn’t really bother me too much. I much prefer rock solid stability over occasional instability with tiny speed increases that I wouldn’t even be able to notice unless I was benchmarking. Also, memory stability depends on many factors so it’s possible that this memory can run at 6400MHz on another system but for some reason it has issues with my particular system (combination of hardware and software components). Overall, I can recommend this memory for anyone looking to upgrade their computer to 32GB. In my case, it has been rock solid running at 6000MHz in my system. I have used Crucial memory many times in the past with excellent stability and performance and Crucial has an excellent reputation among the DIY community. Unfortunately, I am reluctantly deducting a star (I wish I could only deduct ½ stars) for not being able to run it at 6400MHz on my system. My reluctance comes from the fact that the cause of this instability might be lying somewhere else.

Bought it before the crazy price hikes. Works good with a 14900K, will run at 6400Mhz no issues in BIOS. Good kit no issues. Just no RGB but that is not that important to me.

The Crucial - Pro OC Gaming 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6400MHz C38 UDIMM Intel XMP 3.0 & AMD EXPO Desktop Memory (long name) is the step up DDR5 memory you want if you are stepping up your game up! Requires either: - Intel Core 12th to 14th Gen - AMD Ryzen 7000 Series I have recently been running a very quick DDR5 6000 MT/s dual channel 32GB set of memory, which is stupid fast, and then the Crucial - Pro OC Gaming 32GB showed up on my desk. I’ll cut to the chase, the Crucial is faster and rock solid. Pro’s: - Crucial Pro OC Gaming DDR5 is ‘both’ Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO Ready - 6400 MT/s 38-40-40-85 - Low Latency - Good Price Point - From Micron who has a long history of cutting-edge memory development and solid components. Ran XMP OC up to XMP Tweak testing on latest Asus TUF Gaming Z890-Plus WIFI Motherboard with excellent results, nudging out the 6000 MT/s memory. Keeping in mind that millisecond response times is serious business on gaming grid. What did I find? The is Crucial Pro OC Gaming DDR5 6400 MT/s is fast, fastest memory I have ran on my machine. Fast Wins the Day

This high speed RAM has worked really well in my most recent computer build. The OverClocked Ram paired with my AMD Ryzen 7 7700x with EXPO has allowed me to load the EXPO profile in the BIOS. Once the profile has been selected i was able to run the RAM at 6400mhz. I also run it in a 32GB configuration but I am planning to upgrade to 64GB. The SPEEDS are noticeable, I have noticed with web browsing the amount cached and the ability to access it has noticeable improved from my previous memory of 5400Mhz. The multi-tasking has also run more smoothly. I have run multiple programs and the task manager allows me to see the resources used and the amount cached is about 20GB which shows the ram is being used to help run my programs and the frequency being run at is the max RAM speed of 6400Mhz. Overall not much more i can say , other than the memory was easy to install, the EXPO profile was easy to upload and the performance has been noticeably improved. I definitely recommend this RAM for those with the ability to load an AMD EWXPO file or the Intel equivalent.

Overall: I was able to overclock this memory in my Asus gaming system using the Ai Tweaker in bios without issue. My stock ram was running at 5600 mhz which is the standard max for the Intel i7 14700 processor. Using the Ai Tweaker I was able to set the DRAM speed to 6400 mhz and then I ran several cpu test as well as some stress test. All the test passed and the computer worked great. In my testing I saw a latency of 11.9 ns having 38-40-40-84 timings. This is about a 3 ns improvement over the stock ram that came with my system. How much of that translates to real life increases is yet to be determined. To say I noticed an enormous increase in frames per second or increase in processing speed would be a stretch but what I can say is that this memory seems to be very stable at 6400 mhz and the heat sink/spreader is certainly an improvement over my stock ram. Note that this ram does run at 1.35 v which is higher than my stock ram that ran at 1.1 volts. A word of caution to those who aren’t familiar with their computer’s bios capabilities. Some Pre-built computer manufacturers while supporting XMP 3.0 still will not allow you to set the actual DRAM speed or they limit the maximum speed. They do this to keep you from creating an unstable system. Although these memory sticks will work without XMP 3.0 turned on you will not be able to get the higher speeds or optimized performance without it. I experienced this when I installed this ram into an Acer gaming computer. The memory worked but the bios would not allow me to set the ram speed even though XMP was enabled so speed was limited to 5600 mhz. I highly recommend you check your system’s bios capabilities to verify that it will support and let you configure DDR5 6400mhz ram otherwise you may end up frustrated and returning the memory. As soon as I opened these memory sticks I was impressed by the size and quality of the heat sinks/spreaders. The sinks are designed to give good heat transfer without interfering with the adjacent memory slots or being too tall which could interfere with some cpu coolers. Because you can overclock this ram and that they run at a higher voltage at 1.35v the beefer heat sink/spreader is a welcome addition. The other plus side of these heat sinks is that they give you plenty of areas to grip the sticks when installing them without putting your fingers on the actual chips. Some may find the lack of RGB lighting is a downside but I already have RGB lighting strips inside the case and in the fans so it was not important to me. For someone who does not have the ability to increase their DRAM clock speed I also tried these sticks in another pc and they down sped to 5600 mhz and ran just fine. You still get the benefit of the solid heat sinks and the benefits of stable memory even at that lower speed.

The Crucial Pro OC DDR5 6400MHz 32GB kit delivers excellent performance and stability. It was easy to install, works smoothly with both XMP and EXPO, and noticeably improves system responsiveness in gaming and multitasking. Build quality is solid and it runs reliably at rated speeds. The only downside is the price, which feels a bit high compared to similar options. Overall, it’s a great product if you want quality and performance, but you’re definitely paying a premium.

Given the ever-increasing price of RAM this was -when I bought it- the sweet spot for the speed and capacity from a reputable manufacturer. MEMTEST found no issues, and it handled the initial stress testing just fine. I use it in a PC built for a mix of gaming, multimedia editing and virtualization, and have had no noticeable performance issues. My only complaint is the price, and that is an industry wide issue that I cannot ding the product itself for.

good ram, serves me well, we'll see how long it lasts, easy to put in and stuff, not fancy but does the job!

Been a few months now and not had any issues other than needing to reseat them once when I originally assembled everything, but thats not uncommon. Bought it because it was the best deal I could find for 32GB in 2 sticks of RAM at the time (prices have of course went up since then), it being higher quality RAM than I really need was mostly just a nice bonus for the large premium everyone now has to pay. Unfortunately, most people will be better off waiting for 3+ years for prices to stabilize if they want to buy RAM separately for a build, or hopping on to one of the multi-component deal packages that suits what they want most closely if theyre forced to upgrade TL;DR: good product, but RAM is just really expensive now and package deals are the main way to try and avoid the extra cost if you arent too picky on what components youre willing to accept

I’ve been using the Crucial DDR5 6400MHz OC memory for a while now, and it’s been excellent overall. Setup was straightforward—XMP/EXPO enabled without any issues, and the RAM immediately ran at its rated 6400MHz speeds with solid stability. No crashes, no weird boot loops, just plug-and-play performance. Performance-wise, it’s a noticeable upgrade. System responsiveness is snappy, gaming feels smoother, and multitasking is handled effortlessly. Even under heavy workloads, the memory stays consistent and reliable, which is exactly what you want from a trusted brand like Crucial.

Of course the term “budget” is hard to claim in 2026 for RAM kits, but for this being the cheapest I could find, it is very reliable and performs great. Crucial has good products in my experience.

This RAM stands out as a top pick for any Intel or AMD gaming setup. To really show its power, I put it through its paces with a User benchmark test, and here is what I found: * The benchmarking score hit an impressive 186%, a result that truly speaks for itself. * The RAM is performing as expected (59th percentile) It is worth mentioning that during the benchmarking test, I had Davinci Resolve running, 21 Chrome tabs open, and three sticky notes active. Even with all that multitasking, the RAM still delivered an outstanding score. If that does not prove its capabilities and why it deserves a spot in your next upgrade, I am not sure what will.

Ended up not working in the system it was bought for/was noted as compatible. I did not return it as price had already gone up almost $100. Anyone buying RAM currently, IF you end up not using/needing it etc, do not return it, it value is better then stocks currently. If you are buying to scalp, well, you are part of the problem. I stuffed it in my ASUS it was not compatible for, XMP did its thing, and works perfectly. So I ended up upgrading one PC in middle of a separate build.

Works great. Fast DDR5 memory for current generation of motherboards. No problem or issues after installation. Ultimate value for the money. Recommended!

Was cheaper cost wise than most other options and has been a reliable brand for me. With RAM costs rising and probably not coming down, was an easy decision to get it at the time!

Easy to install, fast memory only negative is the price. I paid $80 for this same kit last year which is insane

Excellent fit and function. Improved speed for applications
