Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 1x32GB CL30 vs Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB in detail

True latency

Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 1x32GB CL30 is the lower-latency kit at 10.00 ns, against 12.67 ns for Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB — a difference of 2.67 ns. That figure is what reconciles the two spec sheets: CAS latency counts clock cycles, so it only means something next to the clock it counts. Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 1x32GB CL30 runs 6000 MT/s at CL30; Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB runs 6000 MT/s at CL38.

Transfer rate

Both kits are rated 6000 MT/s, which is 48000 MB/s per module. Their spec sheets part company on CAS latency rather than on clock, so the true-latency figures above are what separates them.

Kit layout

Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 1x32GB CL30 ships as 2 × 16GB and Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.

Voltage

Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 1x32GB CL30 is specified at 1.4 V and Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB at 1.35 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile asks the board for.

Lighting and timings

On the lighting question: Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 1x32GB CL30 does not have RGB lighting, and Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB is published with RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple, the numbers that follow CAS: Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 1x32GB CL30 runs 30-36-36, and Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB runs 38-48-48-96.

Which to buy
