The latest addition to Klevv's Cras V RGB range of DDR5 memory is designed for top-tier gaming, programs, and applications is the low-latency 6000MT/s CL28 module, available in 32GB and 48GB kits.

The Cras V RGB model line consists of seven speeds, from 6000MT/s up to the current flagship 8400MT/s modules, with the kits available in three capacities, 32GB, 48GB and 64GB. The two fastest modules, 8200MT/s (38-49-49-131) and 8400MT/s (40-52-52-134), are only available as 48GB kits. The middle three speeds (7200MT/s, 7600MT/s and 8000MT/s) come in 32GB and 48GB kits. The two slowest speeds (6000MT/s and 6400MT/s), including the latest CL28 modules, come in all three kit sizes.

Our review sample DDR5-6000 CL28 32GB kit uses a pair of single-rank design 16GB modules using 2GB SK Hynix A ICs. Timings-wise wise it is rated at 28-36-36-76-112 at 1.40V. The Cras V RGB range supports both Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO, but there is only one profile for each.

The review kit was finished in what Klevv calls Obsidian Black (a Brilliant White version is also available). The Cras V RGB name tag has a chrome finish to make it pop against the module's basic finish. The RGB diffuser runs the length of the 44mm-high aluminium heatsink and features Klevv branding on one end. At the time of writing, Klevv don't support the module with their own RGB software, but all the top motherboard manufacturers' RGB software are supported: MSI Mystic Light Sync, Asus Aura Sync, ASRock Polychrome Sync and Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2.0.

Although designed to support both Intel and AMD platforms, it does perform better in the latter. Installed in the Intel test platform, it doesn't really stand out in any of the benchmarks we used. Whereas in the AMD platform, it sits in top spot in the Z-zip results chart (only just) and is the fastest module we've seen to date in the PCMark10 Digital Content Creation test by some margin, although it has to be said the other two PCMark 10 test results are nothing to write home about.

We don't yet have confirmed UK pricing, but it's retailing for $105 on Amazon US.

Pros

• Overall performance.
• Build quality.
• RGB.
• Limited lifetime warranty.

Cons

• Only one memory profile each for XMP and EXPO.
• Some test results were a little disappointing.

KitGuru says: The latest addition to Klevv's extensive Cras V RGB DDR5 model range, extensive in terms of both speed choices and capacities, is the low-latency DDR5-6000 CL28 module, available in both 32GB and 48GB kit capacities. The memory performed pretty well under our benchmarking, but it was a bit of a mixed bag results wise.
