DDR5 · 5600MHz · CL36 · 2x16GB · DIMM

The Corsair Vengeance DDR5-5600 CL36 kit offers an entry point into DDR5 at a very compelling price. This 2x16GB configuration runs at 5600MT/s, which is slightly below the ideal 6000MT/s sweet spot but still delivers meaningful performance over baseline DDR5-4800 speeds. At approximately $70 for 32GB, it is one of the most affordable 32GB DDR5 kits available, making it attractive for budget builds on Intel 13th or 14th Gen and AMD Ryzen 7000 platforms. XMP 3.0 profiles enable easy overclocking, and many users find these kits can be manually pushed to 6000MT/s with a slight voltage bump depending on the silicon quality. The low-profile Vengeance heat spreader in matte black maintains cooler clearance compatibility. Corsair's quality control and iCUE monitoring add reliability and convenience. While performance-focused builders will want to step up to DDR5-6000, this kit makes excellent sense for budget-conscious users who want a solid DDR5 foundation with room to grow through manual tuning later.
