Corsair Vengeance RS CML32GX5M2D6000Z38 Review

The Corsair Vengeance RS CML32GX5M2D6000Z38 is the non-RGB counterpart to the Vengeance RGB RS kit covered elsewhere on this site: same 32GB (2x16GB) capacity, same 6000MHz CL38 speed grade, same D-revision bin, same 1.35V, but with the RGB lighting and its cost removed entirely. This is Corsair's value tier at its most stripped-down: 6000MHz DDR5 with no lighting hardware to pay for at all.

The CML model prefix marks it as Vengeance RS without RGB, distinct from both the CMG (RGB RS) and CMH (full Vengeance RGB) lines, and it's aimed squarely at buyers who see RGB as a cost with no benefit.

Performance and Timings

CL38 at 6000MHz gives roughly 12.7ns true latency, identical to the RGB RS kit at the same speed and CL grade, since removing lighting hardware doesn't change the underlying memory ICs or timing profile. This still hits the 6000MHz frequency AMD recommends for Ryzen's fabric ratio, just at the loosest CAS timing in Corsair's mainstream 6000MHz range.

Compatibility

DDR5 only. Enable XMP 3.0 on Intel or EXPO on AMD to reach 6000MHz. Same AM5 fabric-ratio benefit as every other 6000MHz Corsair kit regardless of CL grade or lighting.

Module Count and Rank

Two 16GB modules. Buy the full 32GB in one matched kit rather than combining separate kits later.

Design and Build

Plain anodized aluminium heat spreader, no lighting hardware, shorter overall module height than any RGB kit in Corsair's DDR5 range as a result. This is the design to pick when clearance under a large air cooler matters or when RGB genuinely isn't wanted, not a compromise version of a better kit.

Overclocking and BIOS Setup

Boots at JEDEC baseline until XMP or EXPO is enabled. Select the correct profile, choose 6000MHz CL38, save, reboot, verify in CPU-Z.

Comparison to Alternatives

Directly comparable to the RGB RS kit at the same speed and CL grade, minus lighting and its cost. Stepping up in timing within the same non-RGB tier, Corsair's Vengeance CL30 kit at 6000MHz offers meaningfully tighter latency for a higher price. This CL38 kit is the value floor of Corsair's mainstream 6000MHz DDR5 range.

Who This Kit Is Actually For

Budget AM5 and Intel builds with zero interest in lighting. Full 6000MHz fabric-ratio benefit at the lowest price point in Corsair's 6000MHz lineup.

Small form factor builds where every millimetre of clearance matters. No light bar means the shortest available module height in this speed tier.

Not for anyone who might want RGB later. Lighting can't be added after the fact; buy the RGB RS or standard Vengeance RGB kit up front if there's any chance you'll want it.
