Corsair CMK5X32G2B60C40A2 32GB Review
The Corsair CMK5X32G2B60C40A2 is a single 32GB DDR5-6000 CL40 Vengeance module, giving you high per-stick capacity at the AM5 sweet-spot speed.
6000MT/s at CL40 lands 13.3ns true latency, looser timings than the CL36 32GB single sticks would offer, but 6000MT/s itself is still the right speed target for Ryzen 7000/9000's 1:1 fabric ratio.
Performance
13.3ns true latency at 6000MT/s CL40 is a middling result: the speed is right for AM5, but CL40 timings leave some latency on the table compared to a CL36 part at the same 6000MT/s.
Compatibility and Buying Advice
This pairs well as a second stick for anyone already running one CMK5X32G2B60C40A2 or CMK5X32G2B60Z40A2 module. For a fresh 64GB build, a matched 2x32GB kit like CMK64GX5M2B6000C40 already in this catalog is the safer dual-channel choice.
