G.SKILL Flare X5 64GB DDR5-6000 vs ADATA Ripjaws M5 Neo RGB 64GB DDR5-6000

Both kits are 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5-6000 dual-channel, so capacity and bandwidth are effectively equal. The ADATA Ripjaws M5 Neo RGB runs tighter CL28 timings and adds RGB lighting; the G.SKILL Flare X5 runs CL36, has no lighting, and is a low 33mm profile that clears most large air coolers. G.SKILL has the longer track record in DDR5 validation and a 4.1/5 rating across 250 owner reviews; ADATA's kit is newer with less owner feedback. Buy the G.SKILL for a quiet, cooler-clearance build; buy the ADATA for lower latency and lighting.

• Choose the G.SKILL Flare X5 if you run a big air cooler or want a plain black low-profile kit from a brand with a long DDR5 validation record.
• Choose the ADATA Ripjaws M5 Neo RGB if you want tighter CL28 timings and RGB lighting and your case and cooler leave room for taller modules.
