Package and its Contents
Crucial DDR5 Pro OC memory arrived in a retail package, which is cardboard with a blister box for RAM modules. The package is quite standard for a special OC edition, but it says everything we may need to know while buying the new memory kit, like its series, capacity, and frequency. Most users will order RAM from online stores that have a wider description, so it’s not a problem if we don’t find anything on the package itself.
The package contains two memory modules and nothing else. The installation is straightforward, and even less advanced users can handle it without problems. If there is any problem, then the manual and additional info can be found on the Crucial website.
The memory modules look minimalistic but also clean and professional. Heatsinks are plain black and are low profile, so they won’t interfere with any CPU cooler.
We won’t find any RGB illumination on the new Crucial memory modules. Some users will like the lack of RGB, and some just can’t live without it. I feel like RGB illumination hype is slowly passing, and more users are building simple but high-end-looking PCs where Crucial Pro OC will perfectly fit.
Modules are based on Micron D-die IC and have 16GB capacity each. The black PCB makes them look professional and match every PC.
Since it’s a new product, we don’t have many available options. There is only one version of the Pro OC memory at DDR5-6000 and 32GB capacity. Crucial joined the overclocking game a bit late, as most of the competition reaches 8000MT/s or higher. Crucial wins in compatibility and stability as Crucial Pro OC memory should work on every AMD and Intel motherboard and deliver quite high performance. It’s not always guaranteed with some competitive brands.
I hope that the Pro OC line expands quickly, as I know some users who would like higher-than-standard performance in high-capacity memory kits, and Crucial always guarantees well-tested RAM.
Below are additional photos of the test rig. Since there is no RGB, then modules are not highlighted much but still look good.
