Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 32GB kit takes the top spot in this guide. It is a 2x16GB DDR5 kit rated at 6000MHz with CL36 latency, listed at £433.59, and it carries the largest review base of anything here: 4.7 out of 5 from 4,093 ratings. The headline specification looks like most of the rest of the list — nine of the ten kits in this guide are 32GB at 6000MHz — but two details set it apart.
The first is that 6000MHz is a ceiling rather than a promise. Corsair's own first bullet states that maximum speed requires overclocking or BIOS adjustments and depends on the system's motherboard and CPU. The second is CL36. Against the cheapest 32GB/6000MHz CL30 kit in this guide at £409.99, the Corsair asks £433.59 for a looser latency figure — £23.60 more for a timing number that reads worse on paper. What it does have behind it is 4,093 ratings. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing and its customer reviews, not from any testing we have carried out.
