Customer Ratings & Reviews

Crucial continues to live up to the name. I remember my dad sitting at the kitchen table building a PC when I was in middle school and installing crucial brand. The fact that Micron has maintained intact for this long, speaks to the quality of design. The memory comes in simple packaging with a sleek, black with minimalistic design on the outside. There is heat sinking incorporated into the design without any over the top design features. I used this to upgrade a ROG G700 with ASUS motherboard having Intel Core Ultra 5 with 16GB memory to 32GB with noticeable overall improvement. The 16GB was only 1 memory stick so having the paired dual channel kit was ideal for overall performance. The installation was simple, feeling like my dad in a moment of nostalgia, clicking right into place without any specific issue. The BIOS did not have issue recognizing or setting of the memory (of course it is recommended to verify that this is compatible with your motherboard prior to install). The memory has been working well with a noticeable decrease in boot time and game loading screens along with the ability to set graphics settings higher. Frankly, one of the biggest differences is that while streaming, gaming and discord active my computer is not randomly freezing as it would previously at times, most noticeably during episode changes on streaming. Discord always seemed to be what would throw my previous laptop into a frenzy, to where I got used to using it on my phone and happily not having that issue currently. Overall, it appears the reported specs are as advertised and memory is working as expected.

I had 32 GB 5600MHz in my system. The game I play the most is PUBG. I would get around 90-120 FPS. I did not think these would make too much a difference. To my surprise, I jumped to getting 120-150FPS. My settings all stayed the same. This will probably not be the case for everyone. I was expecting at most 10fps increase. These are a little bit bulkier than the ones I had installed. My other 2 were also crucial brand. These were easy to install. After I installed, I did get a message that my ram size increased even though I had 32 gigs in before. But I just clicked ok and my PC booted right up and was good to go. I feel like my games also run a bit better. PUBG for instance, when I would first start, it would keep minimizing to my desktop and I would have to keep clicking on the game a few times before it would stay open. I have not had that problem after installing these. Time will tell, but before, after a few rounds, my game would also crash. So far, I have not had that happen either. If I will be honest though, at the price point, I feel these are worth it if you are building a PC. If you already have decent ram, yeah it may make a difference like it did for me, if it does, then it may be worth the upgrade for you. I would probably not upgrade myself and would probably use the money to upgrade other parts first. Better keyboard, mouse etc. Like in my case, I already had decent ram. again though, if you do not and you are buying ram then these are a great option to get.

This Crucial Pro Overclocking 6400Mhz RAM is a solid choice for anyone using a DDR5 system. Although aimed at gamers, it works great for any tasks. Gamers will definitely see the benefits of its speed. But I’ve found that even for photo and particularly video editing, the jump in speed is noticeable. Maybe not earth shattering gains over say a 5600Mhz system, but noticeable none the less. So far the performance has been very solid with no crashes of any kind even while gaming. Keep in mind to get the best speeds you will need to enable XMP (or manually overclock) in your BIOS. Even if you already have XMP enabled you will most likely need to go back into the BIOS and enable it again after installing this RAM. Reason being is that doing any kind of hardware change often disables XMP. As for the look of the sticks I think they look nice with a simple pattern. There is no RGB lighting and that’s fine by me. I’m interested in performance not flashing lights. When it comes to DDR5 the sweet spot for speed is right in the 6000-6400Mhz range. Anything faster shows very minimal performance gain. So if you are looking for solid performance that will get the most out of your computer, this Crucial memory hits the spot.

I upgraded my gaming desktop PC with the Crucial Pro Overclocking 32GB DDR5 6400MHz C32 memory, and it instantly breathed new life into a system I have been using for about three years. The install was quick and painless, and the improvement was noticeable the first time I booted up and started using it. The most immediate benefit was how dramatically my game load times dropped. Games open faster, levels loaded in no time, and those little pauses that had become part of the routine are basically gone. My gaming desktop PC now feels much more responsive no matter what I am doing. Outside of gaming, the entire desktop experience feels faster and more polished. Multitasking is smoother, apps open quicker, and everything just feels more responsive overall. What impressed me most is how a simple memory upgrade made my PC feel new again without having to replace major components. If you are looking to refresh an older gaming rig and noticeably improve performance you can feel every day, this memory kit delivers.

If your computer is a bit laggy this is the solution. If you are having issues where your graphics card is running out of memory when your gaming, this will not fix your issue… unless you allocate the RAM to the video card in the BIOS but a new graphics card might be a more user-friendly solution. Not to say RAM won’t help gaming at all, a good amount of RAM makes your games boot faster, enables you to do more in the background. If you are a lone gamer and just gaming, 16GB or 32GB might be enough, but if you are maybe trying to run some communications programs, a music player, edge/chrome/mozilla, OBS software, RGB controller software, accessory configuration software, and/or a plethora of other programs; you may find you run out of memory and it drags your whole system down real quick. 32GB of RAM speeds everything up. So, while not affecting the game directly it is extremely important for gaming as well as when your whole system slows down… so does your game. For me 32GB of RAM added to my 32GB of RAM made the entire system just run butter smooth with all of the extra applications I am usually running in the back ground.

Crucial - Pro Overclocking 32GB DDR5 is an amazing set of DDR5 RAM for any modern system. With 6400MHz, and plenty of headroom for overclocking, the speeds are amazing; especially if you are using an AMD system that can take advantage of the great speeds. Obviously be sure to check compatibility of your system through Crucial or Best Buy's website prior to purchasing this set, and also make sure that your motherboard can take advantage of the speeds and has either XMP or EXPO capability to take full advantage of this RAM. The timings are great and make applications feel snappy with no lag between input and output. This is a good upgrade if you have slower speed DDR5, but if you are upgrading from DDR4, the differences are absolutely amazing and will make your older hardware feel new again. RAM is an easy upgrade that can make your system feel new and I would absolutely recommend this as an upgrade for anyone who is looking for a solid DDR set of RAM. Again, make sure it is compatible with your system before making the purchase, but if this is compatible, I would highly recommend this to anyone.

My gaming PC was a pre-built rig and only came with 16gbs of RAM. Although this is enough memory for most things I think 32gbs has become the new standard. As programs, games, and other systems have become more complex, it requires more memory to run them smoothly. Crucial is one of the leaders in RAM and this 32gb kit makes upgrading your PC a breeze. It is worth noting that this is DDR5 RAM and is compatible with 13th and 14th Gen Intel Core and AMD Ryzen 9000 Series desktop processors. This WILL NOT work in a laptop. Crucial does allow you to check the compatibility of your processor on its website. This RAM is overclocked which allows it to run a faster speed up to 6,400MT/s, with a CAS latency of 32. The integrated heat sinks help dissipate heat. If you are looking to take your PC build to the next level I highly recommend this RAM if it is compatible with your processor. It is great for both gaming and creating. It will make your programs run a lot smoother and allow you to do more tasks at once. I especially recommend this if you only have 16gbs of RAM or less.

What can you say about this ram that hasnt been said already, it works, its fast, and its crucial. There is not many different ram brands i trust for performance outside of crucial, so very sad to hear that Micron (Crucial) will no longer be making consumer ram next year. This OC ram is easy to install, has a good heat sink and nice looking design. After installing make sure to turn on xmp in the bios. I went from a much lower 4800 speed that i had in my computer to this, i can visibly notice increased performance, in both games and apps that i use. i have never had any problems with this brand of ram and i dont believe i'll have any with this model either, the performance is noticable, and the brand is well known, i really cant think of anything negative to say about this ram. If you are looking to get some ram before the continued price hikes get even more out of hand, I would definitely recommend this memory to anyone looking for reliable fast gaming ram, crucial is always top notch.

I've used Crucial PC RAM in the last couple builds I did and have been thoroughly pleased with them through and through. Considering today's RAM economy, kinda hard finding any RAM really but finding decent RAM at any retailer is quite the undertaking at the moment. Fortunately, seems like quite a few people sleep on this RAM in particular and I say it's their loss. Sure, it may not win any beauty pageants or be featured RAM in some sick build OR not have any of that fancy RGB but, this RAM has it where it's needed. Availability seems to be OK (at least in my area) and the price isn't too jacked up which is nice. The previous build I had was using a Ryzen 7800X3D/XTX7900 combo. Those specs with the RAM, never had a single hiccup or issue with the hardware in my time. This being both AMD EXPO/INTEL XMP ready, no need to worry if you got the right RAM for your mobo since this can handle both. Temps were pretty solid as well IIRC and no issues with overhearing. Granted, I did not OC that RAM since it was a customer build but it did run whatever I had thrown at it.

It was an easy decision to upgrade my system with Crucial RAM. The memory quality, capability and support, has always been a hallmark of Crucial. I know when buying it, it’ll work today and in the future. With a limited lifetime warranty, they stand behind it. One of the best ways to improve performance is an upgrade of RAM, both amount and speed. This memory didn’t disappoint. The install is very easy, with the typical locking tabs. While running they operate at a cool temperature, which in a high end gaming rig is critical. My testing showed that the memory was fully capable of running at the max speed without any issues. In daily use of both gaming and intensive video editing, the response improvement was noticeable. My renders completed at least 25% faster. Multi-tasking was a breeze. Whether you have a new build or existing system, these sticks won’t let you down. To get the maximum performance, and ensure they will work in your system, be sure to check the Crucial tools.

Overall – I’ve used Crucial in the past and find them to be a solid and reliable memory, and this kit is in the same boat. That said, this particular kit landed a bit in the middle for me. I did see a slight performance increase in my gaming system with very minimal configuration changes. However, in my video editing system, I didn’t see any real-world performance gains, and it required more tweaking and configuration to get things stable. Because of that mixed experience, this ends up being more of an “okay” upgrade rather than a must-have. Packaging – The memory was well packaged and protected. Nothing fancy, but everything was secure and arrived in perfect condition. Touch and Feel – I really like the look and feel of these, as I would expect from any Crucial DIMMs. Setup – This was a bit of a mixed bag. See opening comments. Functionality / Performance – - Gaming: I saw a slight but noticeable performance increase, mainly in consistency and smoothness. - Video Editing: No real performance gains in exports or timelines, even after additional configuration tweaks. No real gains for me, but I already have pretty beefy memory in that system. Overall Rating – I’d give this memory a 3-star rating. It works well and does what it claims, especially for gaming with minimal setup effort. However, the issues with my video editing system and the time to config keep it minus a star or 2. That said, I would still recommend it if it’s a significant upgrade from what you currently have. Once configured, it was stable and worked well in all applications and systems that I have – it wasn’t a large upgrade from my current memory in either system.
