The DDR5 memory market is buzzing with activity as it becomes a standard feature across all PC platforms. With prices dropping and new platforms becoming more accessible, manufacturers are keen to launch solutions that cater both to high-end specifications and gaming enthusiasts. This dynamic environment has led to KLEVV expanding its offerings with impressive new memory kits.
KLEVV’s Latest in High-Speed RAM
Introduced as part of KLEVV’s premium gaming category, the CRAS V RGB DDR5 memory kit stands out with its impressive speeds. The mainstream audience has access to their SO-DIMM and U-DIMM RAM kits, while gamers can enjoy the BOLT V, CRAS V RGB, and CRAS XR5 RGB series. The focus today is on the CRAS V RGB kit, which has been tested previously at 7600 MT/s with CL36 timings. Now, KLEVV has introduced an even faster version, reaching up to 9600 MT/s, which promises to be a game changer.
Specifications of the KLEVV CRAS V RGB DDR5-9600 Kit
This high-performance kit is optimized for overclockers, featuring a clock speed of 9600 Mbps (PC5-76800) and consisting of dual 24 GB DIMMs, culminating in a total of 48 GB capacity. The latency is set at CL46 with timings of 46-58-58, and it operates at a voltage of 1.45V. Compared to the XR5’s 1.55V for DDR5-8000 and the 7600 MT/s kit’s 1.4V, this kit is efficient. It supports Intel’s XMP and AMD EXPO profiles, ensuring easy setup on compatible motherboards.

The CRAS V RGB’s sleek design is highlighted by its black theme with silver accents, available in both black and white color options. The high-quality aluminum heatsink features an RGB diffuser, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
Unboxing the KLEVV CRAS V RGB DDR5-9600 Memory Kit
The package arrives in a standard cardboard box showcasing the memory’s image, capacity, and speeds. Opening the box reveals the premium design of the modules. Each module is robust, sporting a matte black scheme. Even without RGB, the design is mature and appealing.
The “CRAS V RGB” branding and KLEVV logo are prominent on the heatsink, which at 42.5 mm high, may require consideration when pairing with air coolers. But its larger size ensures efficient cooling under heavy loads.
Performance and Conclusion
KLEVV’s CRAS V RGB DDR5-9600 shines with its high-end performance, ideal for enthusiasts ready to push their systems to the limit. The MSI MEG Z890 Unify-X motherboard efficiently handled the XMP profiles, though CPU compatibility should be verified. While performance gains in gaming and applications might be subtle, the kit excels in benchmarking scenarios.
Despite ongoing DRAM shortages impacting pricing, the CRAS V RGB series continues to set an impressive benchmark for high-performance memory kits. KLEVV’s dedication to innovation makes it a standout choice for premium PC setups, though current market conditions have driven prices higher than expected.
