G.Skill Flare X5 16 GB (1x16GB DDR5-6000)

The G.Skill Flare X5 16 GB arrives as a single module with 16GB of DDR5 on board. It is specced for 6000 MT/s with a CAS latency of 36, working out to a true latency of about 12ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.1V, friendly to low-power and quiet builds.

DDR5 pricing in the high-end tier makes this a sensible pairing for current AM5 and LGA1851 platforms. Once memory clears 6000 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 16GB on offer here is the spec that counts for modern AAA titles. Expect to pay around $249.99, which lands it among high-end options.
