Silicon Power Value Gaming DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 vs TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Alpha DDR5-5600 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Silicon Power Value Gaming DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 is the lower-latency kit at 12.00 ns, against 14.29 ns for TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Alpha DDR5-5600 2x16GB — a difference of 2.29 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. Silicon Power Value Gaming DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 runs 6000 MT/s at CL36; TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Alpha DDR5-5600 2x16GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL40.
Transfer rate
Silicon Power Value Gaming DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 is rated 6000 MT/s against 5600 MT/s for TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Alpha DDR5-5600 2x16GB — 48000 MB/s per module, against 44800 MB/s. That is peak transfer rate, not access time: reaching a higher clock costs more cycles on each access, which is why the CAS numbers differ too, and why the true latency above is the figure that compares directly.
Price and tracked history
Silicon Power Value Gaming DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 is tracked at 439,99 € — 13,75 € per gigabyte — and TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Alpha DDR5-5600 2x16GB at 509,41 €, or 15,92 €. Both are 32GB kits, so the totals compare directly: Silicon Power Value Gaming DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 is 69,42 € less than TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Alpha DDR5-5600 2x16GB. At 509,41 €, TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Alpha DDR5-5600 2x16GB is running 1% below its own 90-day median.
Kit layout
Silicon Power Value Gaming DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 ships as 2 × 16GB and TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Alpha DDR5-5600 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Lighting and timings
On the lighting question: Silicon Power Value Gaming DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 does not have RGB lighting, and TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Alpha DDR5-5600 2x16GB does not have RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple, the numbers that follow CAS: Silicon Power Value Gaming DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 runs 30-38-38-96, and TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Alpha DDR5-5600 2x16GB does not publish one.
Which to buy
Silicon Power Value Gaming DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 gives up nothing to TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Alpha DDR5-5600 2x16GB on what is measured here: quicker on true latency at 12.00 ns against 14.29 ns, and the cheaper of the two at the prices this site has tracked.
Common questions about this pair
