Corsair CMH16GX5M1D6000Z38 16GB DDR5 6000 CL38 desktop RAM

DDR5 6000 Memory for AMD and Intel Builds

This 16 GB DDR5 module runs at 6000 MT/s with a CAS latency of 38 and timings of 38-48-48-96 at 1.35 V. It carries both AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0 profiles for automatic configuration on supported platforms. The gray aluminum heatspreader and addressable RGB lighting suit gaming and workstation systems alike.

Interface Limits at 6000 MT/s

The DDR5 6000 standard delivers a peak transfer rate of PC5 48000, but real-world bandwidth depends on the memory controller and motherboard topology. AMD 600, 800 and Intel 600 series chipsets can enable the rated speed through EXPO or XMP 3.0, though four-slot boards may require looser timings or lower frequencies with all slots populated. Stability at the advertised 38-48-48-96 figures is not guaranteed on every CPU sample.

Build and Compatibility Notes

A solid aluminum heatspreader keeps the tightly-screened chips cool while maintaining a low profile that clears most CPU coolers. The 288-pin DIMM fits standard desktop slots and the onboard voltage regulation allows fine-grained power control via Corsair iCUE software. RGB lighting is managed through the same software ecosystem. The module is validated for AMD Ryzen and Threadripper platforms across B650, X670, B850 and X870 chipsets.
