32 GB DDR5 6000 MHz RAM

The 32 GB DDR5 6000 MHz memory here is all G.Skill. It runs from the non-RGB Ripjaws S5 and Flare X5 through the Ripjaws M5 RGB to the Trident Z5 RGB and Trident Z5 Neo RGB. Latencies run from CL38 down to CL28 on the Trident Z5 Neo RGB F5-6000J2836G16GX2-TZ5NR. Most are 2x16GB kits, a few are single 32GB modules, and white versions of the Trident Z5 RGB and Flare X5 are included. G.Skill covers them with a 10 year warranty.

Start with the memory profile your platform uses. The Flare X5 and Trident Z5 Neo kits carry AMD EXPO only and suit AMD Ryzen builds on AM5. The Ripjaws S5, Ripjaws M5 RGB and most Trident Z5 RGB kits carry both Intel XMP and AMD EXPO. The Trident Z5 RGB CL30-40-40-96 kit is Intel XMP only. At the same 6000 MHz, a lower CL means slightly lower latency. Choose a 2x16GB kit for dual-channel memory from day one. A single 32GB stick leaves a slot free for a matching module later. The low-profile Ripjaws S5 clears large air coolers more easily than the taller RGB kits.

Frequently asked questions

Will this RAM work on a DDR4 motherboard? No. These are DDR5 modules and need a DDR5 board, such as an AM5 board or an Intel board built for DDR5.

Is 6000 MHz a good speed for AMD Ryzen on AM5? Yes. DDR5-6000 is widely regarded as the sweet spot for AM5 Ryzen processors, and the EXPO kits here are tuned for them.

Do EXPO-only kits work on Intel boards? They usually run, but the 6000 MHz profile may need to be set manually. An XMP kit is the simpler choice for Intel.
