Know before you buy
Yes, the Flare X5 is optimized for both AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0 profiles. This ensures you can easily enable the rated 6000MT/s speeds on compatible motherboards from either platform.
No, this kit does not include RGB lighting. It features a minimalist, low-profile matte black heat spreader designed for a clean, professional aesthetic.
No, this is a DDR5 memory kit. It is physically and electrically incompatible with DDR4 slots, so you must have a motherboard that specifically supports DDR5 memory.
The CL36 latency represents the delay between the memory receiving a command and executing it. Combined with the 6000MT/s speed, this provides a balanced performance profile that is well-suited for high-end gaming and heavy multitasking.
No, this kit does not support Error Correction Code (ECC) technology. It is designed as unbuffered memory for standard consumer desktop performance.
Yes, you will need to enter your motherboard's BIOS and enable the AMD EXPO or Intel XMP profile to ensure the RAM runs at its full 6000MT/s speed. Without enabling this profile, the memory will default to standard, slower JEDEC speeds.
