Crucial 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5-4800 Memory Kit Review

Memory by stefan @ 2022-02-27

Without sporting heatsinks or flashy RGB LEDs, the Crucial 32GB 4800MHz C40 DDR5 memory kit offers good performance and can be surely considered in case you are going for a brand-new Intel Alder Lake build. The memory quantity is enough for a lot of applications such as video encoding, gaming, rendering, running multiple VMs at once and can even squeeze more performance out of it by increasing the voltage to 1.25 and upping the clock to 5400MHz!

Test Setup and Test Results Part I

Test Setup

CPU: Intel i7-12700K @ Stock

CPU Cooler: be quiet! Pure Loop 240mm AIO

Motherboard: MSI MEG Z690 TORPEDO

RAM: currently tested kit

Video: XFX Radeon RX 5700XT Ultra THICC III

Power Supply: Cooler Master 850W

SSD: Silicon Power US70 1TB PCIe 4.0

Case: Cooler Master ATCS 840

The pre-programmed timings and frequencies can be also found by using AIDA64; the DRAM IC manufacturer is listed as Micron:

After testing memory at XMP, we did try some overclocking, by raising the RAM frequency at 5200MHz, the voltage at 1.25 and left the timings the same. The kit has proven 100% stable for booting in Windows but also during the TM stress test tool:

We then went further and raised the frequency further at 5400MHz and checked for stability at the exact same voltage of 1.25; we were impressed to see that the kit was performing admirably even at this speed:

When we did try to climb up to 5600MHz, we did boot into Windows, but errors started appearing as soon as the first programs started loading up.

Test Results

SuperPI XS 1.5 2MB
