## Verdict

A dependable, low-profile 6000 MT/s CL30 kit that runs its profile without fuss on AMD or Intel, though testers of the RGB version found almost no overclocking headroom.

## About this product

This page covers the Corsair Vengeance CMK32GX5M2B6000Z30, a 32GB DDR5 desktop memory kit made of two 16GB sticks with plain aluminum heat spreaders and no RGB lighting. It boots at 4800MHz and reaches its rated 6000 MT/s at 30-36-36-76 and 1.40V once you turn on its memory profile in the BIOS.

It carries both an AMD EXPO and an Intel XMP 3.0 profile, and Corsair lists it for AMD 600 and 800 series and Intel 600, 700 and 800 series motherboards. At 35mm tall it is a low-profile kit, which Corsair designs for builds where a tall air cooler overhangs the first memory slot.

No outlet we found tested this exact plain kit. Tom's Hardware and TechPowerUp tested the RGB version, CMH32GX5M2B6000Z30, which runs the same 6000 MT/s, 30-36-36-76 and 1.40V profile, so their results are the closest guide to how this kit behaves.

Checked by hand on 2026-09-27 against 6 sources.

## For

- Runs its rated profile without tweaking, in Tom's Hardware's test of the RGB version
- Carries both AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0 profiles
- Low 35mm modules suit builds with tall air coolers
- Well binned out of the box, so there is little to gain from tuning
- Limited lifetime warranty

## Against

- Needs 1.40V for its rated profile, more than the 1.35V some rival CL30 kits use
- Little overclocking headroom: Tom's Hardware reached only DDR5-6133 on the RGB version
- Finished mid-pack on Tom's Hardware's AMD test system
- Corsair sells several kits under this name, including an Intel-only CMK32GX5M2B6000C30, so check the part number before you buy

## Frequently asked questions

### Is this the same kit as the Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 CL30?

No. The RGB version, CMH32GX5M2B6000Z30, adds a lighting bar and stands 44mm tall, against 35mm for this plain kit. Tom's Hardware lists the RGB kit with the same 6000 MT/s, 30-36-36-76 and 1.40V profile, so its test results are the closest guide to this kit.

### Does it work on both AMD and Intel?

Yes. This part number carries both an AMD EXPO and an Intel XMP 3.0 profile, and Corsair lists AMD 600 and 800 series and Intel 600, 700 and 800 series boards. Check the part number, because Corsair also sells a CMK32GX5M2B6000C30 version with only an Intel XMP profile.

### Will it fit under a large air cooler?

Very likely. Corsair lists the plain Vengeance DDR5 at 35mm tall and says its low profile suits systems where a tall air cooler's fan might interfere with the stick in the first slot.

### Can I overclock it?

Not by much. Tom's Hardware found the RGB version already needs 1.40V for its rated profile and reached only DDR5-6133 after loosening its timings. TechPowerUp calls the kit well binned and sees very little reason to overclock it.

### Do I need to change any BIOS settings?

Yes, one. The kit boots at 4800MHz. Enable its EXPO or XMP profile in the BIOS to reach 6000 MT/s at CL30. Corsair says no manual voltage or timing changes are needed beyond that.

## What this tier means

- A: Excellent. Strongly recommended, beaten only by the very best.

## How to read this

- Each category is researched in four independent runs, one per lens (expert consensus, value, reliability, community pulse). Every run ranks a board of candidates that deliberately includes products buyers cross-shop but should avoid. Placements score on a ranked ladder (LP), and tiers are derived from LP, so no tier is ever assigned by hand.
- LP is this product's points on its own category ladder. It is comparable within a category and not across categories.
- Link status reports what our pre-publication link check found when it fetched the cited URL. It says nothing about the quality of the review.
- A citation with no usable link is listed rather than dropped, and is excluded from the counted total above.
