Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Crucial DDR5-6000 Desktop Memory Kit is an excellent choice for gamers. Crucial memory sticks have always been reliable for me, and this kit doesn't disappoint. It's been perfectly stable in my computer, and I've had no issues at all. There's a QR code on the package that brings you to a setup guide, and it's a very simple process. The two memory sticks add up to 32GB of RAM, and with speed of 6000MT/s, they make for a very high performance.This memory kit is intended for overclocking. They run very quickly and smoothly whether you're gaming or multitasking. The Crucial DDR5-6000 Desktop Memory Kit with low latency and high speed helps prevent bottlenecking and allows your computer to be up for any gaming task. Something to keep in mind is that these are relatively thick sticks of memory, so it might take a little work to fit them into smaller cases. Also, be sure that your motherboard and processor can actually support DDR5 memory before buying. I would certainly recommend this Memory Kit.

Great buy, however with micron pulling out of the consumer market it makes long term reliability questionable

Had to return. Neither stick was recognized for some reason.

The Crucial Pro 32GB DDR5-6000 Overclocking Edition is a great set of UDIMM RAM. As long as you have a compatible system, Intel 12-14th Gen and AMD 7000 or greater, you can easily make use of this RAM set. This was a great upgrade for me, I went from 8GB of DDR4 RAM to this kit and it has made a great difference. With support for Intel XMP as well as AMD's EXPO you can easily get full speed of this kit with supported motherboards and CPUs. This kit is also designed for easy overclocking making it a breeze to get even better speeds from this kit. As usual with most overclocking components the actual act of overclocking could potentially void any manufacturer's warranty, but for people who regularly overclock this is pretty normal. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to upgrade their systems RAM with the newest DDR5. If you are looking for an easy upgrade that can have a high impact on the performance of your system this is a great upgrade that will quickly and easily make a great improvement.

Wish i bought this a month ago, now my bank is empty rip wallet

Crucial is a brand that I trust when it comes to computer parts. I currently use one of their SSDs in my computer and it works great. This DDR5 memory is no different. I currently am using a 13700K with an Asus Z790-P Prime motherboard and a 4090 FE. Installing the 2 sticks of 16GB RAM was very simple. I placed them in the correct DIMM slots and was ready to go. Before I launched into Windows, I went into my Bios and turned on XMP to make sure the memory is running at the full 6000 MHz. After a couple of automatic restarts, my computer booted into Windows and was ready to go. 32GB of memory might be overkill for a lot of people, but it’s great to have some extra headroom. For many games, you may notice that things load in a bit quicker, or you’re able to multitask even faster. For me, I like to have my game running on one screen and on another I’ll have Discord and YouTube open. Everything runs flawlessly. And I really like the simple look of these sticks; no RGB or any over the top heat spreaders. Overall, I am really happy with the Crucial memory and would highly recommend.

Crucial continues to be one of the key players in providing top-notch RAM for various system requirements. This Crucial RAM kit for upgrade or add-on to any system utilizes a minimalist design, while keeping base with a more traditional RAM look. Yes, no bells and whistles of lighting, wildly cut cooling channels or heatsinks. Afterall it’s RAM and while lighting effects may seem cool, does it really provide anything other than the “oooohh, awwwwhhh” effects? For those that need those effects, move-on; this will not be for you. For those that need the RAM for overclocking and gaming without the needed effects, stick around. The heatsinks are standard aluminum, colored black. This works out as it blends into any illuminated case nicely without pull attention away from the main lighting build effects if in use. On the cooling heatsink, there’s minimal Crucial branding with your standard detailed tag on the RAM. The RAM itself is not a low-profile design as each stick will stand around 1.5 inches due to the cooling heatsinks. This may interfere with your current CPU cooler if it is fairly large, and does not provide much clearance between the systemboard, processor, and memory module locations. Each module is 16GB DDR5 using a single-rank design, set initially at a “clock speed” of XX-5600 to allow for initial compatibility. “Clock Speed” is the rate at which RAM is able to access processor data for processing. The higher the speed, the more data per-second can be processed by your RAM. Installation is easy, ensure your aligned with he tab on the systemboard and the slot, push/slide in to the slot until click. Be sure not to use excessive force during install. This is why it’s important for gamers to have high clock speeds when gaming and help prevent lag. We are not talking about lag from your internet connection. The lag between pushing a keyboard key to send the signal to the processor and get the returned action. In similar nature to Frame Rate processing for your graphics options. This aspect is also true when using any form of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as this will determine how fast your answers are processed and data is calculated. Overalls speeds during testing showed a significant increase in processing when using one of the current AI forms. For gameplay, there was noticeable difference from the initial install testing and overclocking.

I grabbed this 32gb kit for an upcoming build I have planned. 6000 seems to be the sweet spot for reliability with ddr5 right now, so no complaints. 32gb is plenty for all of my uses as well. I popped into my i7 3700k system, enabled xmp in bios and it worked perfectly. Hits the clocks it's supposed to without any further faffing about. I ran some pc mark 10 benchmarks and just used my pc as usual for about a week without experiencing any issues. It's stable, has pretty good timings, and yeah. It's ram. I'm not sure what else there is to say about it. I did run this kit over to a friends to pop into his AMD system. It took a bit longer to get up and running, but after going through the ram training a few times the system was running at expo speeds, as advertised. I didn't run the kit for a week in that system, but it works. These are a great for a black or stealth build or something. The profile isn't low, but it's not as high as you get on some modules with massive heat spreaders or rgb diffusers on them. You'll definitely want to check for clearance with your cooler before buying. I have absolutely no complaints with this kit. It's ram. It looks nice and understated, runs at the proper speeds (stable), and has xmp and expo profiles for both intel and amd. That's all that matters. You might think that since this is an overclocking kit it would be special in some way. Nope. Just regular ddr5 ram with expo and xmp support. You can probably hit some higher speeds if you really dig into the timings manually, but I wouldn't. Overall, yeah. It works.

Working on another build at the moment and this RAM came in handy. There's a bunch of top tier RAM out there if you're willing to fork over the money. For the vast majority of PC/gamer folks, budgeting is where it's at. This RAM performs quite well and won't break the bank. Out of the gate, the JDEC is 5600MT/s which is actually faster than my own build. Max output is 6000MT/s so it's a little bit higher than normal which is fine. Tinkering around with my XMP profiles, the RAM works smoothly and without any issues. 32GB is plenty enough for the vast majority of users out there and the low latency (CL36) is quite good as well. I have this paired with 13900 and 4080 and the RAM chugs along just fine. While I don't have any particular use for it, this RAM is XMP/EXPO compatible so it's nice that it has that flexibility. Biggest thing here is the price. 32GB clocking in at a little over $100 is super nice for those budget build while still getting the quality RAM you'd expect from Crucial.

I was in the market to give my gaming PC a little boost. One of the components I wanted to add was more RAM. These Crucial memory chips seemed to fit the bill of exactly what I was looking for. I have a 13th gen Intel chip, so these will pair nicely with that. They definitely don’t look like your typical memory chips. They have a sleek black cover on them so you don’t see the circuit board and all the individual chips on it. So that will give your PC a cooler look, especially if you have the clear side panels on the case like I do where you can see all the components inside your PC. Installing them was about as simple as can be. Just take them out of the package and pop them into free memory slots on your motherboard. Make sure they are good and snug and locked into place and you are good to go! I usually don’t go too crazy on the overclocking, but even just putting the chips in without doing anything else, I noticed a speed improvement while gaming. So the data transfer speeds definitely get a nice boost over my previous chips. Even just day to day tasks when I do things like video editing while I have Photoshop open while im also browsing the web and have my email open all at the same time, there is not even the slightest bit of a hiccup. These handle it all with ease! I did some slight overclocking and fired up Alan Wake 2, one of the most demanding titles you can play on a PC. Speed improved, frame-rate improved and I didn’t notice any problems or hiccups or overheating or anything like that. These are solid chips and an excellent addition to any PC!

Given the laptop market these days, with a lot of silicon moving to SOC, it’s nice to see that you can still find an easy, cost-effective way to upgrade and future proof those laptops that have not gone that route. It will depend on your machine, but install was a breeze for me. A couple of screws and a swap was all it took. Really, that was it. Performance-wise, I couldn’t be happier. I game, but only a little, with most of my laptop use being photo editing and Chrome. While I can say I have seen improvements across the board, I think the crisper Chrome use is where I have seen the most benefit. Admittedly, I have a severe tab problem, and I was definitely hitting my RAM limits before making this upgrade. Now, that is not an issue, and I can easily keep more tasks applications running without a problem. For me, that is a tangible improvement. I would rant and rave about Systems On a Chip, as well as how 32GB should be the floor with RAM in most cases, but that has little to do with this product. In the end, this RAM is perfect for an upgrade. Better performance, getting some more life out of a working system, and even a little futureproofing. It comes from a respected name in the industry, at a good price, and I think is a great value. Just be sure to double check compatibility with your system.

I recently replaced my 5200 ram with this 6000 from Crucial. The upgrade was painless and as with most ram only took a few minutes to install. I fired up Windows 11 and played a few different games, that i felt were ram hungry (current call of duty MWIII, Cyberpunk 2077 and Starfield), to try and test the ram to see how efficient and better it was to the ram I had prior. First, I did this by not enabling XMP in the bios, then I continued to repeat the same testing routine, while going back into the bios and switching the XMP settings on). I really felt like I could tell the difference between the xmp being on and off, things just seemed faster, Cyberpunk felt like it ran a little quicker than originally as did Starfield, while Call of Duty felt about the same regardless of what i do with that game, but i would blame the game itself not my computer, but that might just be cause that game feels poorly optimized to begin with, might have not been the best choice to use for testing 'differences'. Overall the ram does what it says and performs well. If you are looking for a good overclocking type ram module, I would give Crucial a real chance here, for the price and performance you really can't go wrong.

In short, this memory works flawlessly. It was the easiest I have recently installed. The machine instantly recognized the chips. Since it went in, there have been no hardware or software crashes. Games rapidly load without issue. I can push the system hard without any slowdowns. Benchmark testing says there are too few examples so far to compare to other people, but the chips performed above expectations. At least on my machine, there was no need to adjust settings in the bios to get the best performance. Aesthetically, the heat spreaders on the chips are slim and look great when they are the only chips in the memory slots. When filling all four memory slots on the motherboard, they are slim enough to easily fit between other chips and still allow adequate airflow. The black color easily blends in with the surroundings. The adult side of me says they are perfect as is. However, the child side of me would really like an LED option to add more lighting effects to my system. Overall, I am happy with the memory and would definitely recommend it.

Pro: Low profiles Sleek design 2 Intel XMP or AMD EXPO settings Low latency Con: None First of, the look. The Crucial DDR5 Pro Overclocking Edition has an origami inspired design, which is a clean, thin, and flat look with angled edges mimicking a folded corner. I personally like this better than memory with a high heat sink or flashy RGB. Unlike other memories I’ve had, the front of the sticks actually faces the front of the case, making it more appealing to look at, too. Overclock settings were easy to set. The XMP profile is already tuned to its rated settings, so it’s just a one click step. I’m using it on an Intel build, and it overclocks to 6000 36-38-38-80 at 1.35v with the XMP profile. It also has a second XMP profile that clocks at a slightly lower 5400, but presumably a more stable and cooler setting. Performance has been good so far. The Overclocking Edition has up to 25% lower latency than the non Overclocking Edition. Even though I haven’t really pushed it hard, at 6000, it has been stable and I haven’t seen any issues.

When shopping for memory, I always think of Crucial first. This memory does not disappoint. The speed and performance is excellent. Further proof why they are one of the leaders in the market. Now for one of the odd things with this memory, not really the hardware, but the documentation. It is advertised as overclocking, but documentation warns against overclocking or it voids the warranty. Not that it is unusual for a vendor to have disclaimers on clock speeds, but advertising as overclocking then warning against it just feels odd to me. Crucial uses a pretty good aluminum heat dissipation/heat spreader that keeps temps down even with 4 sticks in use. The modules are good looking without being overbearing. The other great thing, this works with Intel and AMD processors and boards. No need to check processor compatibility as long as you can run DDR5. But it never hurts to be certain. I am really happy with the memory. Low latency and improved on the performance of my 5600 MHz memory I was running with. My benchmark buries my previous benchmark with a simple memory upgrade.

I recently decided to switch up my PC's stock memory with Crucial's new Pro 32GB (2pk 16GB) DDR5-6000 UDIMM Overclocking Edition RAM, hoping to enhance my system's performance. The installation process for RAM memory is incredibly easy and straightforward, but if you have any worries, Crucial website offers step by step instructions and there is also a QR code on the package to take you there. However, my experience took an unexpected turn post-installation. After carefully installing the RAM, my PC failed to boot. I double-checked the installation and ensured everything was seated correctly, but the system simply wouldn't start. I was quite disappointed as I had high hopes for the performance boost this upgrade was supposed to bring. My PC not only failed to boot but also malfunctioned, making it impossible to diagnose the issue without removing the new RAM. I wasn't sure if the problem was due to a defect in the RAM or a miscommunication between my PC's specifications and the RAM itself. I double and triple checked the specs of my rig making sure it was compatible with the memory and getting confirmation from Crucial support staff. Despite the promising specs and capabilities of the Crucial Pro 32GB DDR5-6000 UDIMM, it just didn’t work with my setup for some reason. Crucial's customer service deserves a mention here. They were professional and very helpful throughout the troubleshooting process. Their team guided me through various steps to try and resolve the issue, but unfortunately, we couldn't get the RAM to work with my system. In the end, while the potential of Crucial's Pro 32GB DDR5-6000 UDIMM Overclocking Edition RAM is impressive, my personal experience was less than ideal. I was excited about the upgrade and the enhanced capabilities it promised, but it didn't work out for me. However, the professionalism and support from Crucial's customer service were top-notch, even though the product ultimately did not meet my expectations. I can say that I have used many Crucial products in the past and they have been very reliable and a good product, maybe I just got an unlucky bad memory from the product line. I would recommend Crucial to anyone as I have a more positive track record with other products, I just can’t give any high recommendations on this product until I get it to work as intended. If anything changes, I will definitely provide an update.

Crucial (now a subbrand of Micron, one of the world's largest memory manufacturers) has long been a trusted name in RAM. And this PRO 32GB kit is a great example of why that is. Crucial didn't load this kit down with flashy and colorful LEDs or massive (and not helpful) heatsinks. What they DID was pack it with fast, high capacity memory modules. But is it right for you? Read on to find out. First off, if your motherboard supports DDR5 and at least two sticks, this is a drop in upgrade - either replacing your existing slower/lower capacity RAM or alongside your existing RAM if you prefer and have 2 or more open slots (though in that case, ALL the RAM will run at the speed of the SLOWER RAM, so consider that carefully). Once physically installed, you should go to the BIOS / UEFI screen on your PC and look to see if you can turn the speed on this RAM up to it's rated "XMP" profile or rated speed of up to DDR5-6000 (some pre-built machines may not allow this - and that's fine as the RAM will still work though it may not use ALL it's performance). At this point - in mid-2024 - 32GB is plenty of RAM for nearly anything you might do particularly with the speed of this kit. I like the black / plain design of the RAM as well and the lower profile (though not super low) will fit with more large coolers than RAM with larger heatsinks/lights. So if you're looking for no nonsense, fast and high capacity RAM that just works, this is a great kit to add to your list. Give it a try today!

I've been a big fan of Crucial RAM, and while I miss their Balltix line, the Pro Overclocking seems to fill the same niche of RAM. Simple looks and does what it says. Thats all I ever need from my RAM. Crucial's Pro Overclocking was a breeze to install and use. Just remember that even though this is rated at 6000Mhz, you still have to enter into your computer's BIOS to turn on XMP to ensure the PC will clock the RAM to full speed rated on the case. I had no trouble hitting the speed in my 12700K Promox server. In fact I was happy that Crucial did a great job in the sense that after I had tested it with a memory tester at the full speed when I added my other 96GB of 5600 RAM, it clocked down and worked with that with no issues, which is not something that will happen all the time when you mix RAM, so I was happy to see that my CPU and RAM played nice. Then I got my parts for my new gaming system a 7800X3D and it worked with AMD's platform at 6000 with no issues and seemed to fly as I played games. I did turn off XMP and ran some games and the 6000 over default JDEC max speed was good for about 5% in FPS boost in Cyberpunk 2077. Overall, I'm incredibly happy with this kit, it took the beating I gave it and performed like I expected. Definitely recommend going Crucial if you need RAM for a new DDR5 system. Just can't go wrong.

You might have your new set of RAM if you're looking for some fast, no nonsense memory to upgrade your rig. 6000MT/s is really quick and you don't have to do anything but enable XMP (or the equivalent in AMD systems) to get those speeds. Memory upgrades are one of the easiest upgrades you can do to your system. I wouldn't pair these with other RAM modules that aren't using the same speed and timings so most likely you just pop out the old modules and snap in the new ones. I like the nice black shroud on these. Definitely beats the old PCB green sticks I replaced and I like the subtle elegance of the black over some bright RGB, personally. After installation, booting up and heading straight into the BIOS to make sure the system was seeing the right thing. Enabling the XMP profile and my BIOS immediately detected and enabled the correct timings and speeds for these modules. Nothing more required. I can't tell you you're going to feel a difference between 5600 and 6000 MT/s memory, but if you're looking for every little bit of advantage, this might be the way to go. After running these for a while, they're performing as expected and I'd recommend this to anyone looking for some faster memory.

So I needed a excuse to build a new rig. I was experimenting with dual channel and quad channel and realized that with 32GB DDR5 I didn't have to run the same configuration that I did in my old rig with 64GB DDR4 in all four slots on the motherboard (I'm using a ATX form factor because I still like my case). I like the height of the ram as well and the heat sinks are a nice matte black (new rig is all black, no RGB). It will fit in a case that has a low CPU cooler fan or heatsink. Another cool thing about this RAM is that you can rock it with a AMD or Intel CPU seeming as though it is EXPO (Extended Profiles for Overclocking) and XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) certified. Just be careful with trying to overclock it. Playing with the voltage is a bit tricky and something you definitely should check to make sure your motherboard is supply the correct amount. You don't want to RMA new memory unless you have to because it was dead out of the box. If you're looking for the fastest memory you might be a bit disappointed but this kit is stable and would be a good start if your budget is tight and you need to get up and running. I have no problem recommending this kit.
