Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 vs Kingston Server Premier DDR5-5600 ECC UDIMM 1x32GB in detail

True latency

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 is the lower-latency kit at 12.67 ns against 16.43 ns for Kingston Server Premier DDR5-5600 ECC UDIMM 1x32GB, 3.76 ns between them. That is the figure that reconciles the two spec sheets: a CAS number counts cycles, and cycles mean nothing apart from the rate they are counted at. Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 runs 6000 MT/s at CL38; Kingston Server Premier DDR5-5600 ECC UDIMM 1x32GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL46.

Transfer rate

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 carries the higher rating, 6000 MT/s to 5600 MT/s for Kingston Server Premier DDR5-5600 ECC UDIMM 1x32GB — 48000 MB/s per module against 44800 MB/s. That is peak transfer rate, not access time: a higher clock is reached by counting more cycles for each access, which is why the CAS numbers differ too and why the true latency above is the directly comparable figure.

Kit layout

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 ships as 2 × 16GB, Kingston Server Premier DDR5-5600 ECC UDIMM 1x32GB ships as 1 × 32GB. A real difference, and not a ranking: more sticks fill more channels on a board that has them, while fewer sticks leave slots free for adding later. Which suits comes down to the board and to whether more memory is planned.

Voltage

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 is specified at 1.4 V and Kingston Server Premier DDR5-5600 ECC UDIMM 1x32GB at 1.1 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile requests from the board.

Lighting, timings and ECC

On lighting: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 has RGB lighting, and Kingston Server Premier DDR5-5600 ECC UDIMM 1x32GB is published with no RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple — the numbers after CAS — Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 is 38-44-44-96, and Kingston Server Premier DDR5-5600 ECC UDIMM 1x32GB publishes none. On error correction: the catalog does not state whether Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 has it, and Kingston Server Premier DDR5-5600 ECC UDIMM 1x32GB supports ECC. ECC is a board and CPU feature as much as a module one, so it is worth having only where the platform can use it.

Which to buy

At least one of these kits has no tracked price right now, so this page has no buying answer to give: which is worth more depends on what each costs, and that is exactly what is missing. On specifications alone, Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 has the lower true latency at 12.67 ns.

Common questions about this pair

Is Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 faster than Kingston Server Premier DDR5-5600 ECC UDIMM 1x32GB?
Yes, on true latency: 12.67 ns for Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 against 16.43 ns for Kingston Server Premier DDR5-5600 ECC UDIMM 1x32GB. Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 runs 6000 MT/s at CL38 and Kingston Server Premier DDR5-5600 ECC UDIMM 1x32GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL46, and the CAS numbers alone will not settle it — they count clock cycles, not time.
