G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL36 vs Silicon Power Storm RGB DDR5-6000 CL38 2x32GB in detail
True latency
G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL36 is the lower-latency kit at 12.00 ns against 12.67 ns for Silicon Power Storm RGB DDR5-6000 CL38 2x32GB, 0.67 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. G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL36 runs 6000 MT/s at CL36; Silicon Power Storm RGB DDR5-6000 CL38 2x32GB runs 6000 MT/s at CL38.
Transfer rate
Both kits are rated 6000 MT/s, or 48000 MB/s per module. They part company on CAS latency instead of on clock, so the true-latency figures above are what tells them apart.
Price and tracked history
G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL36 is tracked at 949,00 €, or 14,83 € per gigabyte; Silicon Power Storm RGB DDR5-6000 CL38 2x32GB at 999,99 €, or 15,62 €. At the same 64GB, that puts G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL36 50,99 € less than Silicon Power Storm RGB DDR5-6000 CL38 2x32GB. 949,00 € is the lowest this site has ever recorded for G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL36.
Kit layout
G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL36 ships as 2 × 32GB and Silicon Power Storm RGB DDR5-6000 CL38 2x32GB ships as 2 × 32GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
Lighting, timings and ECC
On lighting: G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL36 is published with no RGB lighting, and Silicon Power Storm RGB DDR5-6000 CL38 2x32GB has RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple — the numbers after CAS — G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL36 is 36-36-36-96, and Silicon Power Storm RGB DDR5-6000 CL38 2x32GB publishes none. On error correction: G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL36 is published without ECC, and the catalog does not state whether Silicon Power Storm RGB DDR5-6000 CL38 2x32GB has it. 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
G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL36 gives up nothing to Silicon Power Storm RGB DDR5-6000 CL38 2x32GB on what is measured here: quicker on true latency at 12.00 ns against 12.67 ns, and the cheaper of the two at the prices this site has tracked.
