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.

Perfect RAM to round out a Gaming Rig

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.

Nice bit of kit for 32GB of DDR5

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.

Crucial does it again - reliable and fast!

I used this kit to upgrade some bargain-basement no-name barely-can-tell-it's DDR5 ram that I slapped into my machine when I first built it due to the kit I had ordered being lost in shipping and it's giving a marked speed boost in everything I do.
The computer I put it into is as follows:
i9-14900KF
Aorus Z790 AORUS PRO X motherboard
Gigabyte Aero RTX 4090
2x Crucial 4TB NVME SSDs
System picked up the XMP profile right away without an manual intervention, giving me the full 6000mhz speed. Off to benchmarking!
Every test I could find to throw at it resulted in higher benchmark scores, especially those that related to memory. Games - that's a slightly different story - my machine was already knocking the frame rates out of the park, so even though the FPS numbers were higher, nothing was visible to my eyes - there's only so fast that the human eye can recognize! But yes, the frame rates were higher!
I've had nothing but success when it comes to Crucial RAM and SSDs over the past several generations of builds that I've done - this definitely continues that tradition and I'm happy to recommend them to anyone who was fast, stable, and solid!

Fast, reliable ram with xmp and expo support

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.

FAST RAM from a trusted name

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
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!
