Lexar ARES RGB LD5BU016G-6000LA 16GB DDR5-6000 Review
This single 16GB Lexar ARES RGB module runs DDR5-6000
a B-suffix ARES RGB variant at AM5's native speed, built on Hynix A-die. Note: CAS latency isn't published for this specific part number in this catalog, so it's left blank rather than guessed.
Compatibility
At AM5's native 6000MT/s and a 43.3mm module height, this fits standard desktop builds without clearance concerns from most air coolers.
Comparison to Alternatives
The Lexar ARES RGB LD5U16G60C34LA in this catalog carries a confirmed CL34 timing at the identical 6000MT/s speed and capacity; if a documented CAS latency matters for your comparison shopping, that part number is the safer choice.
