INTRODUCTION

     DDR5 kits may have yet to reach the maximum theoretical speeds allowed but surprisingly enough this isn't actually an issue, not for the majority of users out there. The fact that some lower-cost motherboards (especially by AMD) couldn't handle kits with frequencies over 6GHz certainly did help with this but even now the number of users with kits surpassing 7GHz is very low and yes that includes people with top-end motherboard models capable of handling kits up to and even surpassing 8GHz. The reason behind this of course is a combination of 3 things, cost, compatibility issues and high temperatures. So, with all these in mind it's no wonder that some manufacturers stick to the development and release of DDR5 kits with more down to earth frequencies and well, Crucial is among them and since the Pro Overclocking series is their latest line to hit the market today, I'll be testing the 32GB 6000MHz CL36 Dual-Channel Kit.

    The latest Pro Overclocking DDR5 line by Crucial currently includes just the dual-channel kit (2x16GB) I have here with me today which surprisingly enough is already available in both black and white colors. As expected, this kit is based on Micron single-die modules which this time over run at 6000MHz, have a timing of CL36, require just 1.1V (high overclocking headroom) and fully support both Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO profiles. Typically, Crucial covers the new Pro Overclocking kit with a limited lifetime warranty but as in the past what really makes their kits stand out from the rest is compatibility with motherboards. So, time to see what the new Pro Overclocking 32GB 6000MHz CL36 Dual-Channel Kit is really capable of.
