Lexar ARES RGB LD5EU016G-6400LA 16GB DDR5-6400 Review
This single 16GB Lexar ARES RGB module runs DDR5-6400
an E-suffix ARES RGB variant slightly past AM5's typical native speed range, built on Hynix A-die. Note: CAS latency isn't published for this specific part number, so it's left blank rather than guessed.
Compatibility
6400MT/s sits right at the edge of what many AM5 boards hold at a 1:1 fabric ratio; confirm your board's QVL before relying on this speed for gaming performance over a 6000MT/s part.
Comparison to Alternatives
The Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U32G64C32BR in this catalog carries a confirmed CL32 timing at the same 6400MT/s speed (at 32GB); for documented timings at 16GB, the ARES RGB LD5U16G60C34LA at 6000MT/s is the safer comparison.
