Rambling about Corsair DDR5 speed bins.

[@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking]

So apparently Corsair will be fixing their website to include the XMP timings in the tech specs. EDIT: The update should be done sometime this month.

[@andybuss]

for the DDR5 64GB (2x32GB) 6000Mhz CL30 kit just delivered - CMK64GXM2B6000Z30 the timings listed are 30-36-36-76 1.40V ver 5.43.01

[@just_OsaMa23]

​@@andybussI'm going to buy CMH32GX5M2B6000C30W Which have c letter instead of z is there a deference?

[@JosepsGSX]

I can confirm is already there: "tested latency" in addition to previous one that now is "SPD lantency".

[@Iscandelt]

This is why I was looking for a decent 96GB kit for couple of hours.... Corsair approach to tech specs is just f... dumb. I had to go to reddit in hope for getting a real xmp timings (from somebody that bought the kit and showed it) that certain kits have. It's INSANE

[@furiousscotsman2916]

every single website that sells it in the UK shows corsair timings, who tf buys ram from the actual manufactor for an extra 20% lol.

[@GewelReal]

how does the non-power of 2 DRAM even work? How is there no performance penalties

[@quegyboe]

Notice on Corsair's website how the tech specs are formatted in a table of white lined cells and the right side column is 1 line shorter than the left side column. That tells me Corsair used to have a line for XMP timings but removed it. I suspect they removed it because they don't want their specs compared to the competition. A newbie would see a G.Skill kit of 6000 30-38-38 and compare it to a Corsair kit of 6000 30 and ASSUME it's must also be 38 38 when Corsair might actually time it 39 39 and the buyer wouldn't know until they get it in their PC, and by then they are likely not to care enough to return it and wait for shipping on replacements.

[@ryanocallaghan8833]

Corsair has some interesting binning for their Dominator Platinum RGB DDR5 in dual rank (2x32) configurations. One of the available kits is 6800 40-50-50-110 which sounds a lot like Micron but I have only heard of these (based on QVLs only, not in action) using Hynix A-Die. Similarly, the 6000 40-40-40-77 kit I have sounds a lot like Samsung but in fact it is also Hynix A-Die.

[@Desturel]

One of the nice things about having a Microcenter is that I can go there and see the ram timing directly instead of having to order online and roll the dice.

[@DaleEarnhardtsSeatbelt]

Being near a microcenter. Lucky son a of a b.

[@DC9V]

I blame motherboard manufacturers for providing BIOS versions that ignore parts of the XMP.

[@DC9V]

To me it's no surprise that Corsair decided to hide information about their timings, so that nobody can accuse them for false advertising.

[@TheNubaHS]

I agree so much with this, its pissing the shit out of me as well

[@jm8080ful]

[@blueredtan2872]

Even online retailers have more info than Corsair which is insane. Now IF you live near a physical retail store you can check the version number on the sticker and find out the chip manufacturer which is a merit but I assume not many people live near physical stores.

[@Tpecep]

Timings are 40-40-40 as noted. I literally overclocking corsair memory now (32x2 DR samsung) and it was only 5200mhz XMP with terrible cl40 timings. Now it works fine 6000mhz with cl34 no problem lol...

[@HoangDucNuyen]

I got 2 A-die kits (6000 CL36-38-38), but different PMIC manufacturer (1 is Richteck, other is Anpec).

[@UnluckyDomino]

Which PMIC manufacturer is better?

[@SirAndras]

Hey BZ, thought I'd drop it here seen as how you're the all knowing on this: Got two RAM kits to choose from before I build my PC. Rather not try one and then swap as I'll have a NH-D15 on top of my CPU and it's a tiny hassle to adjust rams (maybe, haven't really tried the new MB). At any rate, I'm deciding between the G.Skill, which I am holding right now, and Corsair, which has been delayed and I'm waiting for as they're better (on paper). G.Skill 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL30 Flare X5 Svart AMD EXPO (30-38-38-96) Corsair 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL30 Vengeance (30-36-36-76) I did notice my G.Skills have an A at the end of their part number or whatever. Which is said to reflect A-die, which is said to be better than M-die. Could I tighten the G.Skills (easily without issue) to match the subtimings on the Corsair or are we talking a hassle for someone who just likes to enable EXPO and leave things alone until 10 years down the road when I need to change systems again? I can do minor tweaking just prefer not to as I have had issues where bluescreens appear 6 months down the line and I have to start troubleshooting wtf I did wrong or if a part is faulty. I dislike that bit. Any insight would be great here. Thanks for your videos. (Still enjoying the 10h stream!)

[@taiiat0]

plus Corsair being so garbage at information keeps perpetuating newbies Buying different Memory Kits that aren't the same while thinking they are the same and now they're Posting on Forums or whatever wondering why their Computer is now Crashing sometimes. other Vendors are to blame too, but Corsair is the biggest and most egregious on this.

[@vincentvega3093]

I have a 32GB 7200 CL34 XMP kit that is heavy returned by amazon customers as not working on intel and am5. It runs fine 6400 cl30 on 7950x. $120 with rgb and hynix A die

[@spawntohell]

Not sure elsewere but in uk is a nightmare with dr5 specs... this video about corsair specs and how to diferentiate samsung micron and hynix from timing specs would of helped me 6 months + ago and i would probably avoided a bunch of ram sticks most from corsair that are pretty much uselees except the stated expo/xmp settings. Good luck as you say getting some tighter timings and oc is completly of the table.

[@kmans272]

2 weeks ago i bought the Corsair vengeance 64 GB (2x32GbB) DDR5-6000 cl30 and these are Hynix M - die if i interpret the vendor id correctly - CMK64GX5M2B6000Z30. They work great on Asus tuf x670e with 7800x3d , selected Expo profile and thats it ... i was worried about memory support so these looked like the simple choice for decent performance.

[@Taldirok]

I have the same kit, it's A-Die, also interestingly, his easy timing setup works on this kit for me without issues.

[@blueredtan2872]

Check the version number. If it's 5.43.01 it should be A-die. 5.43.13 should be M-die.

[@FirstLast-ge4yd]

=============> Is it possible to use 2 different ram speed profiles? (1) a XMP profile for "everyday use".... then (2) a faster manual profile for gaming. i have no problem restarting the pc before every gaming session (i already do this anyway), and going into the bios to change it to the faster manual profile. about to build a 14700k + strix z790-e, and im trying to choose the best Corsair Titanium 32gb or 48gb kit and im not sure which one to choose (money is NOT a factor). the ONLY thing i care about is which will give me the absolute max FPS in gaming. i will use 2 dims and leave the other 2 slots empty. thanks

I have same performance in aida with 2x16Gb a-die kit. 6000Mt/s Cl30-36-36-48. I've only set those 4 or 5 timings due to lack of time. Xmp profile (6400 Cl32) did not work for my msi b650 tomahawk. Msi BIOS/UEFI sets the auto timings wrong, so I'll have to set them manually

Picked up the Corsair Vengeance RGB 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-6600 CL32 Memory kit like two weeks ago. Timings looked tight at 32-39-39-76 but I’m just getting into the OC thing. Haven’t checked if it’s actually Hynix, sort of assumed it was… before traveling I kicked on the XMP profile and let it run / game for a while. What do you use for benchmarking memory? AIDA64? Would love to run some tests and see what sort of speed / timings I’m actually getting since I thought the 7800X3D couldn’t really leverage anything past 6400MT…

[@TheVinceZampella]

CMH64GX5M2B6600C32 I’m like 90% sure it’s going to be A-die but it was silly to not check sooner lol

[@maveric19871]

But not all A -die are the same. There are people here on youtube that spread disinformation that all the sticks are the same. Like if u buy 7000cl32 it is the same stick as 8000cl38 or 8200 cl38. It is just so untrue. There are stick 1.35v doing 8200-8400. There is no chance that hynix adie with 6600 or 6800 can do anything close to that at normal voltage

[@ivantsipr]

Micron or Spectek? My motherboard QVL list shows all the Corsair kits as Samsung or Spectek it didn't show any Corsair kit with Micron or Hynix ( MB: ASRock B650m PG Riptide Wi-Fi)

Because it's very counterproductive from a marketing point of view.

[@idontneedthis66]

Corsair doing Corsair things again (shrug). I've seen this kinda thing a lot from them over the years, and I don't think it's just laziness, but rather intentional. If you don't specify the timings, then it gives you the freedom to use whatever chips you want within that slower speed bin and they will often do exactly that. What you get is probably just what was the cheapest or most readily available chips at the time of manufacture. I remember in the DDR3 days I'd get one model kit of Corsair RAM, then a few years later go to do another build with the same kit only to find it had entirely different chips in it, though they at least would mark it "rev 1.2" or "rev 1.4" or whatever, but still it's pretty annoying to have to look at what rev the same kit is when they could just have created a new model number instead.

[@username8644]

Literally all the brands do that. That is a dumb argument. And Corsair is only one of two companies (the other being g.skill) who actually writes what ICs are being used on the heatsinks. You should be grateful they do that because basically nobody else does. Yes Corsair has obviously gone downhill in the last few years but their DDR3 and earlier ddr4 kits were perfectly fine, and actually rather good kits.
