When CPU and motherboard platforms started to turn towards DDR5, it soon became one of the most expensive parts to buy, and put a lot of early adopters off switching to the newer platforms like AM5. It’s funny how this RAM-pocalypse has turned full circle, with RAM prices up in the stratosphere due to market conditions and the AI juggernaut sucking up the silicon. Not so much a deal, but more of a public service announcement, the cheapest 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 RAM kit available is available at Best Buy. Crucial’s Pro Overclocking 32GB RAM kit is $273.99. If you need DDR5 RAM, get it fast, as the prices only continue to rise, and indications are that this isn’t a blip.
Crucial’s Pro Overclocking 32GB DDR5-6000 RAM kit consists of 2x16GB sticks that have a 6000MHz speed. They aren’t the flashiest or fastest RAM sticks available, but they do come with timings of 36-38-38-80 and a CAS latency of 36. The kit is AMD EXPO and Intel XMP ready with profiles ready to set in your BIOS, and 6000MHz is also the sweet-spot for AM5 CPUs. The heat spreader is black and simple, with no RGB lighting in sight.
