Colorful Battle AX DDR5 16GB 6000MHz Desktop Ram

A single 16GB DDR5 module rated at 6000 MT/s under an aluminium heatspreader. Both Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO profiles are on board, so a single BIOS toggle gets it to rated speed on either platform. Non RGB, which keeps the height down and the price sensible for a straightforward build or a capacity top up.

Before you buy

This is one stick, so you will be running single channel. On AM5 in particular a single 16GB DIMM roughly halves your memory bandwidth compared with a matched pair. If you want dual channel performance you need two modules. Buy this as a capacity upgrade or as half of a planned pair, not as a complete gaming kit.

6000 MT/s only happens once EXPO or XMP is switched on in the BIOS. Out of the box it boots at JEDEC speed, typically 4800. Systems reported as slow or faulty are almost always just unprofiled.

Latency varies between Battle AX sub variants at this same speed. Colorful ships CL28, CL30 and CL36 versions of DDR5-6000 under the Battle AX name, and colour follows the variant. Confirm the exact latency and colour with us before ordering if timings matter to you.

Colorful uses an asterisk and a 2 in the model string to indicate a two stick kit. A model reading 16G 6000*2 is a 32GB kit, not this product.

Non RGB. The heatspreader has no lighting despite the gaming branding.
