G.Skill Flare X5 16GB 6000MHz CL36 DDR5 RAM

The G.Skill Flare X5 16GB DDR5-6000 CL36 (SKU: F5-6000J3636F16GX1-FX5) is a single-module DDR5 memory kit purpose-built for AMD AM5 platforms. Running at a validated 6000 MHz data rate with CL36-36-36-96 primary timings at 1.35 V, it delivers high-bandwidth performance suited to Ryzen 7000-series processors that thrive on fast DDR5. The module carries an AMD EXPO (EXtended Profiles for Overclocking) profile, enabling one-step memory overclocking by simply activating EXPO in the BIOS on compatible AM5 motherboards — no manual sub-timing adjustments required. G.Skill builds the Flare X5 from hand-screened DDR5 DRAM ICs put through the company's internal validation process before leaving the factory. The result is a module that ships ready to operate at its rated 6000 MHz frequency without the guesswork associated with manual overclocking. The low-profile form factor keeps the module well clear of large CPU coolers, making it equally suitable for compact mid-tower builds and larger full-tower systems where airflow clearance may be a constraint. The aesthetic follows a matte minimalist theme — available in matte black — with a subtle stripe-inspired heat spreader design that complements both understated and enthusiast-oriented build themes without demanding attention. There are no RGB elements on this variant, keeping cable management and visual complexity to a minimum. As a single-module (1×16 GB) kit, it populates one DIMM slot and operates in single-channel mode. Users planning a dual-channel configuration should note that a second matching module will be required, or they may opt for a paired 2×16 GB kit. The UDIMM form factor is standard desktop and is not compatible with laptop (SO-DIMM) or server (RDIMM/LRDIMM) slots.
