G.SKILLFlare X5 Series (AMD Expo) DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MT/s CL32-38-38-96 1.35V Desktop Computer Memory UDIMM - Matte Black (F5-6000J3238F16GX2-FX5)

Arrived on time. Increased system memory as expected to 64GB from 32GB. Simple 24 hour usage hasn't revealed any issues. Only system intensive tasks were using HandBrake application which never pushed memory usage above 8GB, I ordered more memory for future MS windows 11 installation.

Flipped on AMD EXPO and never looked back. Runs fine with just the two modules installed. I never tested with a 4 module config.

I needed some DDR5 rams for my new MSI B650 motherboard, and the 7800X3D cpu.I looked at all the options. I personally didn’t need or want rgb on my rams, because I got plenty of that on my fans and GPU, so this g.skill ram caught my eyes. These rams are 6000mt/s, which is great. Price is really good for what you are getting.All you gotta do is install these rams on the correct slots, then go to BIOS, then navigate to the “Exteme Memory Profile”, and MAKE SURE you select “EXPO”.Don’t use XMP, because with XMP, you’ll only get 4200mt/s, which is the max amount XMP will support, which means you really aren’t getting the maximum performance from your rams, so always make sure to select EXPO in the BIOS to really get the full benefit.Build quality is solid, and so far it seems cooling is not an issue at all.Would buy again!

Initially had problems running EXPO on a b650 tomahawk, memory context restore led to BSOD bluescreen and general instability even when updating bios. Tweaked some settings mainly "Enable Power Down" and ran it at 6000 mhz manual. This helped avoid Bluescreen but still had issues with sound popping and crackling. I am not sure what the issue was but I assume the default voltage on the MB was too high but after researching and watching some Gamers Nexus videos it is most likely it is a compatibility issue with MB's and AMD, the MB companies not receiving correct data from AMD leading to instability utilizing EXPO.I solved this by switching to a Asus ROG Strix B650E-F Wifi and have not had a problem with this RAM thus far.Although I was a bit confused being that without expo this RAM is rated at 4000 mhz not 6000. I assumed default speeds were 6000 and EXPO would increase it further. I am not 100% sure on this but it seems as if the advertised speeds are only when EXPO profile is on. Seems to be the case.Very curious about the flagship version from Gigabyte if it is any better but I just hate RGB tbg. Hope this review helps.

decent price not to fancy but still good

With no rgb, keeps my pc looking simple and clean, while using it, it performs good even without loading the profile

Runs so much faster and smoother, easy to install!

Really thought I got bad set or something... reseated a few times and motherboard would not boot with t hem even after a long wait... cleared cmos and still nothing... finally switched one of these with current ones so a few month older with newer on different channels (identical to existing ones... wanted 4x16..just bought 2x16 with new pc) Cleared Cmos and booted in a few minutes the first time I installed.... Not sure why this worked, but if you don't know how to troubleshoot, maybe don't buy?
