INTRODUCTION

   With single DDR5 sticks already available in 48GB and soon climbing to 64GB it's important not to forget that people who require such large amounts of RAM make up less than 1% of all users and so it makes sense that not every manufacturer out there is in a hurry to release such models. The same of course goes for high-speed DDR5 RAM sticks and so it's no wonder that we rarely see newly released kits with speeds surpassing 7000MHz. Again, however just a small portion of all users globally have such requirements and so when Lexar released their latest THOR OC 32GB DDR5 6000MHz Dual-Channel Kit 3 months back, well taking that route just made perfect sense.

   For more than 25 years, Lexar has been a trusted leading global brand of memory solutions. Our award-winning lineup includes memory cards, USB flash drives, card readers, solid-state drives and DRAM. With so many options, it’s easy to find the right Lexar solution to fit your needs.

   Lexar released their THOR OC line of DDR5 RAM to include just two dual (2x16GB) channel kits compatible with both Intel's XMP 3.0 and AMD's EXPO profiles running at 5600/6000MHz with CL36/32 timings and 1.25/1.3V voltages. Both kits feature low-profile (40.8mm), 1.6mm thick black and gold heatspreaders made out of aerospace-grade anodized aluminum (non RGB lighting) inside which Lexar has placed SK Hynix modules (probably a-die ones) with on-die ECC (error correction code) and PMIC (power management integrated circuits). Needless to say, Lexar typically covers their THOR OC line of DDR5 RAM kits with a limited lifetime warranty.
