We've reached a price equilibrium for RAM: This 32 GB 6000MT/s DDR5 Kit is close to the price of a DDR4 kit comparable.

DDR5 RAM, which was launched in 2020 as a high-end memory option for PCs, was initially a more enthusiast choice due to its higher price than DDR4 RAM and the fact that it only works with certain motherboards. DDR4 was already available for six years, and it had a value that matched DDR5. DDR5's price has dropped enough that it is now a good recommendation.

Newegg offers 32 GB of Corsair Vengeance memory at a price of $90, $25 less than the retail price. This is for two 16 GB memory sticks, so you can max out both channels on your motherboard. It is not only compatible with Intel gear, but also with non-Intel motherboards. Corsair iCue software is compatible, so you can monitor and overclock your system better.

This RAM is a great choice if you don't care about overclocking. Its speed and memory bandwidth are also impressive. It can transfer DDR4 RAM much faster at a speed of 6000 MT/s.

This kit is rated at a CAS of 40 which isn't great, but it's not bad either. This kit is right in the middle and you shouldn't even notice the latency while using your PC.

To use DDR5, your motherboard and CPU must be compatible. It is a different pin-layout to fit on the board, so you cannot simply swap DDR4 with DDR5.

This deal is great if you have been using 16GB of RAM and want to upgrade. It will look especially nice when viewed through tempered glass. It's great to see that the price premium has dropped and RAM prices remain low, since new CPU platforms by Intel and AMD use DDR5 today.
