To extract every drop of performance out of your processor, it’s essential that you equip your system with RAM that offers plenty of capacity and speed. This is true regardless of whether you have an Intel or AMD CPU at the heart of your gaming PC. Thankfully, Black Friday festivities have seen DDR5 RAM prices fall dramatically, making now the perfect time to pick up some new memory.
Crucial Pro DDR5 32GB (2x16GB)
Push performance to the next level with the blazing speed and massive bandwidth of Crucial DDR5 Pro OC Gaming Memory.
Of all the many RAM sticks currently vying for a coveted spot in your rig, my personal pick is a kit of Crucial Pro DDR5. Over on Amazon, a 32GB (2x16GB) set running at 6,000MT/s is currently 29% ($35) off, bringing its cost down to just $83.99. UK shoppers can join on the savings too, with a 24% (£21) discount, making it price fall to £66.99. Better still, they’ve never been cheaper.
This memory will gel well with both AMD and Intel processors, boasting EXPO and XMP profiles on the same kit. Better still, it’s no slouch in it timing with a CAS latency of 36. These specifications in particular nail the sweet spot for Zen 4 processors like Ryzen 7 7800X3D, but will make for a fine pairing with Zen 5 and Arrow Lake chips too.
There’s no RGB on these modules, but they are available in both black and white. The latter option will cost you an additional $5 / £5, but both are still all-time low prices. Regardless of which colour you pick, they’ll add a nice subtle touch to your build.
For added piece of mind, Crucial offers a limited lifetime warranty with these Pro sticks. I doubt you’d ever need to exercise such a right, but you can’t put a price on peace of mind.
We’ll be sharing more Black Friday deals leading up to the event, so be sure to come back for more bargains worth your bucks.
