Corsair CMK32GX5M1B5600C40 32GB Review
Corsair CMK32GX5M1B5600C40 32GB DDR5 desktop memory module
A 32GB (1x32GB) DDR5-5600 CL40 desktop DIMM from Corsair, part number CMK32GX5M1B5600C40.
Speed and Latency
CL40 at 5600MT/s works out to 14.3ns of true latency (40 / (5600 / 2) x 1000). That sits on the loose end: 89% of the desktop DDR5 kits we track match or beat it.
Platform Fit
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 has an Intel XMP 3.0 profile only. Most AM5 boards can still load XMP, but kits with EXPO are validated for AMD.
Capacity and Configuration
This is a single 32GB module. On its own it runs in single-channel mode; pair it with an identical module for dual-channel bandwidth. 32GB covers current games with a browser and Discord open, plus most photo and video work.
Build and Cooling
Corsair does not publish the module height, so check your cooler's RAM clearance if you use a large air cooler. The memory chips are not disclosed. That only matters if you plan to tighten timings manually.
Speed Score
Our DDR5 Speed Score for this kit is 6.3 out of 10, rated from its transfer rate and true latency against other DDR5 kits. Scores only compare within the same DDR generation.
