Crucial Intros DDR5 Pro Memory: Overclocking Edition: 6000 MT/s Speeds In 16 GB & 24 GB DIMMs

Crucial has finally updated its DDR5 memory portfolio with the new DDR5 Pro Memory: Overclocking edition series rated at up to 6000 MT/s.

Last year, Crucial introduced its first DDR5 DIMMs rated at speeds ranging from 5200-5600 MT/s. These DIMMs were designed for the mainstream consumer segment aiming at the latest desktop PC platforms from AMD and Intel. Today, Crucial is offering a slight update to its lineup with the intro of DDR5 Pro Memory: Overclocking Edition.

In terms of specifications, the Crucial DDR5 Pro Memory: Overclocking Edition builds upon the previous series by updating the speeds to 6000 MT/s. All kits are Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO compliant which means that they will run great on either of the two platforms without any major issues. Furthermore, these DIMMs are designed for overclocking support and come with tighter memory timings of CL36 (36-38-38-80) with a voltage of up to 1.35V.

The biggest change to the Crucial DDR5 Pro Memory: Overclocking edition is the addition of new heatsinks which are slim and come with a black-tone. The aluminum heat spreader allows users to tune the memory with higher clock speeds without worrying about heat. The following are the main features of the lineup:
