ADATA XPG Lancer RGB 32GB DDR5-6000 CL30

Ranked #4 in RAM

570 LP on the category ladder what's LP?

A solid 6000 MT/s CL30 kit that runs well at its EXPO settings and leaves real headroom for overclockers, though KitGuru calls it fairly generic and found it hard to buy.

About this product

This page covers ADATA's XPG Lancer RGB AX5U6000C3016G-DCLARBK, a 32GB DDR5 desktop memory kit made of two 16GB sticks with black heat spreaders and RGB lighting. XPG rates it at 6000MT/s with CL 30-40-40 timings at 1.35V, which it reaches once you enable its XMP or EXPO profile in the BIOS.

It supports both Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO, so it suits an AMD Ryzen or an Intel DDR5 build. The modules measure 43.56mm tall. The same kit also comes in white as AX5U6000C3016G-DCLARWH.

KitGuru tested a 32GB Lancer RGB DDR5-6000 CL30 kit on an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D without naming its colour, and Hungry Geeks tested the white AX5U6000C3016G-DCLARWH on a Ryzen 9 7950X. Earlier reviews of the Lancer RGB DDR5-6000 cover a different CL40 kit, AX5U6000C4016G-DCLARBK, so their results do not describe this one.

Pros & cons

✓ Supports both Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO
✓ Decent performance at its EXPO settings in KitGuru's test
✓ KitGuru ran it at DDR5-6800 and DDR5-7200 with rock solid reliability
✓ No crashes or instability at stock settings in Hungry Geeks' test of the white version
✓ Limited lifetime warranty

✗ Runs at the DDR5-4800 default until you enable EXPO or XMP, which KitGuru says leaves a load of performance on the table
✗ KitGuru found it fairly generic and struggled to find it on sale in Europe
✗ Overclocking is not guaranteed: Hungry Geeks met occasional crashes when raising the speed
✗ The Lancer RGB DDR5-6000 name also covers an older CL40 kit, so check the part number

The XPG Lancer DDR5 CL30 memory modules are definitely good for overclocking because of it's SK Hynix A-Die and on-die ECC.

Frequently asked questions

It ranks #4 of 15 on our RAM tier list, in B tier. That placement rests on one cited source.

Yes. XPG lists Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO support, and offers EXPO on its DDR5 kits rated at 6400MT/s or less, which includes this one. KitGuru and Hungry Geeks both ran CL30 Lancer RGB kits on AMD Ryzen systems.

Yes. XPG says you must enable XMP or EXPO in the BIOS, with a compatible motherboard and CPU, to reach the rated speed. KitGuru found that at the DDR5-4800 default you leave a load of performance on the table, which you gain for free by enabling EXPO.

XPG lists the Lancer RGB DDR5 at 133.35 x 43.56 x 8mm, so each stick stands 43.56mm tall. If a large air cooler overhangs your memory slots, compare that figure with the memory clearance its maker lists.

Often, but not always. KitGuru ran its kit at DDR5-6800 or DDR5-7200 with rock solid reliability and felt DDR5-7600 was within reach. Hungry Geeks met occasional crashes when it raised the speed on its white kit and put that down to an unlucky sample.

No. That kit, AX5U6000C4016G-DCLARBK, runs 6000 MT/s at 40-40-40-76, and Tom's Hardware found Samsung chips inside. This kit is rated at CL 30-40-40, and KitGuru found SK Hynix chips on its CL30 sample. Reviews of the CL40 kit do not describe this one.
