Apacer NOX DDR5-6000 2x16GB vs Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB CL36 in detail
True latency
Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB CL36 is the lower-latency kit at 12.86 ns against 13.33 ns for Apacer NOX DDR5-6000 2x16GB, 0.48 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. Apacer NOX DDR5-6000 2x16GB runs 6000 MT/s at CL40; Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB CL36 runs 5600 MT/s at CL36.
Transfer rate
Apacer NOX DDR5-6000 2x16GB carries the higher rating, 6000 MT/s to 5600 MT/s for Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB CL36 — 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
Apacer NOX DDR5-6000 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB CL36 ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
Lighting, timings and ECC
On lighting: Apacer NOX DDR5-6000 2x16GB is published with no RGB lighting, and Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB CL36 is published with no RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple — the numbers after CAS — Apacer NOX DDR5-6000 2x16GB publishes none, and Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB CL36 is 36-38-38. On error correction: Apacer NOX DDR5-6000 2x16GB is published without ECC, and the catalog does not state whether Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB CL36 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
The site holds no current price for at least one of these, so no buying answer follows: which is worth more turns on what each costs, and that figure is the one missing. On the specifications alone, Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB CL36 is the quicker at 12.86 ns of true latency.
