Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this with a DDR4 motherboard?

No, this is DDR5 memory and is physically and electrically incompatible with DDR4 slots.

Do I need to enable a setting to get 6000 MHz?

Yes, you need to enter your BIOS and activate the Intel XMP 3.0 or AMD EXPO profile corresponding to your CPU platform.

Is this RAM compatible with my large air cooler?

With a height of 33mm, the Flare X5 is designed to be low-profile and compatible with the vast majority of air coolers on the market.

Does this RAM have RGB lighting?

No, the Flare X5 series features a minimalist design without RGB lighting.

What happens if I mix this with different RAM?

Mixing different brands, capacities, or speeds is not recommended as it can lead to system instability or the system down-clocking to the speed of the slowest stick.

Troubleshooting

System fails to boot after installation

Ensure the RAM is fully seated in the slots. Try booting with a single stick to identify if one module or slot is faulty.

Memory is running at lower than 6000 MHz speed

This is normal default behavior. You must enter the BIOS and manually enable the XMP or EXPO profile to reach the rated speed.

System instability or blue screens

Check for BIOS updates for your motherboard, as these often improve memory stability and compatibility with high-speed DDR5 kits.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent balance of high speed (6000 MHz) and high capacity (64GB)
  • Compact 33mm height ensures high cooler compatibility
  • Easy one-step overclocking via BIOS profiles
  • High-quality construction using hand-screened ICs
  • Dual compatibility for both AMD and Intel platforms

Cons

  • Requires manual activation of EXPO/XMP in BIOS to hit 6000 MHz
  • DDR5 memory is not compatible with older DDR4 motherboards
  • Minimalist aesthetic may not appeal to users seeking RGB lighting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Installation: Before installing, ensure your motherboard specifically supports DDR5 memory. Gently press the modules into the 288-pin DIMM slots until the retention clips click into place.
  2. BIOS Configuration: By default, the RAM will run at a base speed. To achieve the rated 6000 MHz, enter your motherboard BIOS and enable either the AMD EXPO or Intel XMP 3.0 profile depending on your processor.
  3. Compatibility: This kit is designed for PC use and is compatible with modern DDR5-ready motherboards. Always check your motherboard's QVL (Qualified Vendor List) to confirm exact model compatibility.
  4. Handling: Avoid touching the gold contact pins. Hold the modules by the edges of the heat spreader. No special cleaning is usually required, but a blast of compressed air can remove dust from the heat spreader fins if necessary.
