6000 MHz Single Channel RAM

The 6000 MHz single channel RAM here comes as one DDR5 module per pack, in 16GB and 32GB sizes. The G.Skill range runs from the plain Ripjaws S5 at CL36, through the Trident Z5 RGB in black and white, to the Flare X5 and the CL30 Trident Z5 Neo RGB (F5-6000J3038F16GH1-TZ5NR). Corsair adds the Vengeance RGB 16GB (CMH16GX5M1D6000Z38) at CL38. G.Skill and Corsair cover these modules with a 10 year warranty.

All of these are DDR5, so they need a DDR5 motherboard: AMD AM5 or an Intel board built for DDR5. The Flare X5 and Trident Z5 Neo carry only AMD EXPO profiles and are tuned for Ryzen AM5 systems. The Ripjaws S5, Trident Z5 and Corsair Vengeance support both Intel XMP and AMD EXPO. For lower latency at the same 6000 MHz, look at the CL30 Neo. The low-profile Ripjaws S5 suits builds with large air coolers. One stick runs in single channel; for dual channel, buy two identical modules. The G.Skill models have their own page.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy two of these single sticks to run dual channel? Yes. Two identical modules (same model number) in the correct slots run in dual channel, though a factory-matched kit is the safer choice.

Will 6000 MHz DDR5 work on a DDR4 motherboard? No. DDR5 modules do not fit DDR4 slots.

Which one suits an AMD Ryzen AM5 build? The Trident Z5 Neo RGB and Flare X5 are built around AMD EXPO for AM5. The models with both XMP and EXPO work as well.
