Package and its Contents
Crucial DDR5 Pro OC memory arrived in a retail package, cardboard with a blister box for RAM modules. The package is standard for a special OC edition, but it says everything we need to know while buying the new memory kit, like its series, capacity, and frequency. Most users will order RAM from online stores with a wider description, so it’s not a problem if we don’t find anything on the package.
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, the manual and additional info can be found on the Crucial website.
The memory modules have the same design as the black version but are white. The PCB is still black, so only the heatsinks’ color has changed.
Crucial Pro OC is not equipped with RGB illumination, which can be an advantage for many users. I often see users commenting that they have had enough of RGB-everything and wish for a simple but well-designed RAM that works well. I’m sure now they have an answer from Crucial in the form of the Pro OC series.
You may not notice one thing about the refreshed modules: I pointed out in my last reviews that the labels with product and serial numbers should be on the back, so the visible side is clean, with only the Crucial logo. The 6400MT/s modules have their heatsinks turned around, as you can see in the photos. Even though it’s insignificant, it looks better, and computer enthusiasts will appreciate it.
Below are additional photos of the test rig. Since there is no RGB, the modules are not highlighted much, but they still look good and match the test rig.
