About This Product
Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB DDR5-6000 CL26 32GB Kit — SK Hynix-Binned Memory for AMD EXPO & Intel XMP 3.0 Builds
The Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB DDR5-6000 32GB Kit is the tuned, low-latency member of the ARES family — and CL26 is the point that matters. Where most DDR5-6000 kits ship at CL30, this one is binned on premium SK Hynix DRAM to run CL26-36-36-68, which lands it right on the AM5 sweet spot: DDR5-6000 with a 1:1 FCLK ratio and the tightest primary timings you can practically buy at that speed. On Ryzen 7000/8000/9000 that combination is worth real frames in CPU-bound games, not just a better number on a spec sheet.
🚀 Key Specifications
- Capacity: 32GB Kit (2 × 16GB) — dual-channel matched pair
- Speed: DDR5-6000 MT/s (PC5-48000)
- Timings: CL26-36-36-68 — tighter than the standard CL30 6000 kits
- Voltage: 1.45V (EXPO / XMP profile), 1.1V JEDEC default
- AMD EXPO: One-click profile for AM5 (Ryzen 7000 / 8000 / 9000)
- Intel XMP 3.0: One-click profile for LGA 1700 / 1851
- DRAM: SK Hynix ICs, hand-screened for the CL26 bin

- Heat Spreader: Aluminum, designed for sustained 1.45V operation
- On-Die ECC + PMIC: Real-time error correction and on-board power management
- Form Factor: 288-pin Unbuffered DIMM (U-DIMM), desktop only
- Manufacturer Part #: LD5U16G60C26BR-RGD
- SKU: RAM-LEXA-ARESRGB6000-32GB-NEW-0089
⚡ Why CL26 Instead of CL30
Memory performance is speed and latency together. Two DDR5-6000 kits can carry the same headline number while one finishes work measurably sooner. True latency here is roughly 8.7ns versus about 10ns on a CL30-6000 kit — a ~13% reduction in the time the CPU waits on every memory access. In CPU-limited scenarios — competitive shooters at high refresh, simulation and strategy titles, large-project compiles — that shows up as higher 1% lows and a smoother frame time graph, which is exactly where a fast GPU otherwise sits idle waiting on the CPU.

🖥️ Compatibility
- AMD (recommended): Ryzen 7000 / 8000 / 9000 on AM5 — X870E, X870, X670E, X670, B650E, B650, B850, B840. DDR5-6000 keeps the Infinity Fabric at a 1:1 ratio, the configuration AMD itself recommends.
- Intel: 13th / 14th Gen Core (LGA 1700) and Core Ultra (LGA 1851) — Z690, Z790, Z890, B760, B860.
- Note: Enable the EXPO or XMP profile in BIOS after installation; the modules boot at JEDEC default speed until you do.
