Which should you buy, ADATA AX5U5200C3816G-B 16GB DDR5-5200 or Corsair CMH5X16G1B60C40A2?

Buy the ADATA AX5U5200C3816G-B 16GB DDR5-5200 for system builders and OEM configurations and budget upgrades where brand styling doesn't matter, though it is not the pick for gaming or performance-focused builds. The Corsair CMH5X16G1B60C40A2 is the one to take for matching an existing 6000MT/s Vengeance RGB single module and adding RGB-lit capacity to a single-module AM5 build. Avoid it for new builds, a matched Vengeance RGB kit like CMH32GX5M2B6400C32 is the better choice.

Where the two are identical

Everything else lines up. Capacity, capacity per module, ddr generation, module count and ram segment read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 1 further specification as well.
