Top RAM 2023

Sabrent Rocket DDR5 16GB U-DIMM 4800MHz is a fantastic memory module and even offers a little surprise that some other DDR5 memory modules could be missing. The Sabrent Rocket DDR5 is an excellent option if you’re in the market for some new memory modules and can live without RGB illumination.

CORSIAR VENGEANCE RGB 2x16GB DDR5 kit 6000MT/s CAS36 offers good and stable performance out of the box. This kit offers brilliant digitally controllable RGB lighting with even diffusion and vivid colors. iCUE support gives this kit a competitive advantage as well. Another key advantage is the creation of customized XMP profiles. This kit is suitable for a white-themed build and comes recommended by us.

TEAMGROUP means business with their Delta series DDR5 kits. The Delta RGB 32GB DDR5 kit in white color packs a good performance with tight timings giving it a distinctive advantage over loose timing kits. What makes this kit even more compelling is the pricing giving this kit a good price-to-performance ratio. The only caveat is low overclocking headroom.

Good looking and better performing, the Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB DDR5 RAM kit is a must have for any discerning gamer who likes a little RGB in their build. Just be prepared to pay a bit of a premium for all that flash.

The G.Skill Ripjaws S5 6000MHz CL30 is the best of both worlds when it comes to value for money and performance. With a durable build quality and limited lifetime warranty, this is easily a hand-picked kit for mainstream users.

The XPG Lancer RGB 6000 32GB is a high-class performance kit enabling the super high 6000MHz speed with some vivid and brilliant RGB lighting all around.

Kingston is good at making their memory solutions performance rich, and we expect nothing less from the manufacturer. Their FURY RENEGADE RGB kit is no exception to that. This kit packs solid performance at an impressive 7200MT/s, and then there is evenly diffused RGB lighting compatible with RGB solutions from motherboard manufacturers. All praise goes to this kit except for loose timing and a high price tag.

Gigabyte's Brix Gaming GT desktop PC maybe on borrowed time with its aging Intel Core i7-6700K processor, but finding a SFF gaming rig with an equally powerful CPU and a full-sized GTX 1070 GPU for under $1,100 would be a tough task. The Gaming GT stands out for more than just its price alone; the design is unique and eye catching, and the custom cooling system manages to keep the desktop components from throttling (although barely, and it's quite loud when doing so). You can't overclock, despite the unlocked CPU and Z170 chipset, but the average consumer will likely (and understandably) not miss this feature. We'd have considered this a contender when it originally debuted at $1,700, but now that the price has dropped (along with our jaws), we're giving it a Tom's Hardware Approved Award, and would highly suggest grabbing it before its gone for good.

Like many products, Mushkin 994206F goes from being a good to excellent value based on the buyer’s favorite vender, favorite brand, and ability to configure custom settings.

A great overclocker, Corsair’s CMD16GX4M4A2800C16 Dominator Platinum DDR4-2800 16GB Quad Channel DRAM kit appears overpriced only to buyers who don’t need its enhanced cooling mechanism or Corsair Link monitoring interface.
