Corsair Vengeance CMK32GX5M2B6400Z36 Review

Corsair Vengeance CMK32GX5M2B6400Z36 is a 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6400 CL36 dual-channel kit with no RGB lighting, black anodized aluminum heat spreader, dual-certified Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO.

Dual-certified for both Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO, this 32GB kit at 6400MHz gives cross-platform buyers or system integrators one SKU that profiles correctly regardless of which chipset ends up in the build, without carrying an RGB light bar most workstation and value gaming builds don't need.

Why Buy It

Dual XMP/EXPO certification means the same SKU auto-profiles correctly on either Intel or AMD boards, useful for system builders stocking a single kit for both platforms.

Comparison to Alternatives

It runs a higher 6400MHz frequency than the Corsair Vengeance CMK32GX5M2B5600C36, at the cost of higher 1.40V operation, for buyers who want more bandwidth from the same non-RGB Vengeance shroud.
