32GB Lexar Thor OC DDR5
The RAM singularity
DDR5 MEMORY is in a very peculiar place right now. When it launched, it really did suffer from some ridiculous pricing, with 4,200 MT/s kits featuring atrocious latencies that were actually slower than the average DDR4 kit, yet being way more expensive. Fortunately, over the last half year or so, memory pricing has fallen off a cliff, which is great news for us.
Lexar’s Thor OC DDR5 is a prime example of what you can get on the cheap. It’s $100 for 32GB @ 6,000 MT/s, and similar to the Crucial Pro Overclocking kit that we’ve been effusive about lately, featuring both Intel XMP and AMD EXPO profiles. That’s brilliant news, as it keeps things simple. No longer do you have to find exactly the memory kit for your system—just pick the memory speed and capacity you want, and you’re good to go.
