ADATA XPG Lancer RGB AX5U5600C3616G-DCLARWH 32GB

CL36 at 5600MT/s works out to 12.9ns of true latency (36 / (5600 / 2) x 1000). It is not a latency pick. 79% of the desktop DDR5 kits in our catalog are as tight or tighter.

Fits DDR5 desktop boards: AMD AM5 (600 and 800 series) and Intel 600, 700 and 800 series boards with DDR5 slots. It does not fit DDR4 boards; the notch is in a different place. 5600MT/s runs on any DDR5 board, but AM5 builds get lower latency from a 6000MT/s kit. It carries both Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO profiles, so one click in the BIOS sets the rated speed on either platform.

Two 16GB modules fill two slots in dual channel, which is the configuration boards run fastest with. Four DDR5 sticks usually run well below their rated speed, so buy the total capacity you need as one two-stick kit rather than adding a second kit later. At 32GB you have room for gaming, streaming and editing without running short.

It has RGB lighting on a white heat spreader. ADATA does not publish the module height, so check your cooler's RAM clearance if you use a large air cooler.

Our DDR5 Speed Score for this kit is 6.5 out of 10, rated from its transfer rate and true latency against other DDR5 kits. Scores only compare within the same DDR generation.
