Crucial 64GB DDR5-5200 Memory Kit Review

Overclocking

Disclaimer: Overclocking is never guaranteed so the results may vary depending on certain conditions and various hardware configurations. I am not recommending overclocking if you do not know what you are doing. High voltages may damage hardware, and the warranty will not cover it.

 

The new Micron IC overclocks significantly better than the last series. We could reach DDR5-6200, but it was much easier for single-rank, 16GB modules. I recommend DDR5-6000 and tighter timings for AMD motherboards as it will provide the best performance and compatibility.

The memory kit could easily run at CL32, but CL30 was already impossible to stabilize. Our DDR5-6200 CL32-44-44 1.35V result is fully stable, but because of more relaxed sub-timings, it’s about as fast as the DDR5-6000 CL32-42-42 1.35V.

The final result is similar to that of the DDR5-5600 single-rank memory kit. The end-user won’t see the difference between 5200MT/s and 5600MT/s memory kits, while 64GB capacity will help those who use RAM-hungry applications.

After overclocking, the operating temperature was at about 62°C, so it still doesn’t require heatsinks or direct airflow.
