ADATA XPG Lancer RGB 16GB (DDR5-6000, CL30, RGB) Desktop RAM

Description

CL30: The Tightest Latency in This Range

The AX5U6000C3016G-CLARBK achieves CL30 primary latency at DDR5-6000 — the lowest CAS latency of any module listed in this entire range, matching the Kingston Fury Beast DDR5-6000 CL30 (KF560C30BB-8). The XPG Lancer ushers in the DDR5 era for gaming memory, reaching frequencies of up to 6000MT/s for a major performance boost for gaming and overclocking. CL30 at 6000MT/s translates to approximately 10ns absolute memory access latency — a genuine improvement over CL36 or CL38 modules at the same clock speed, particularly in latency-sensitive gaming workloads such as competitive titles and frame time consistency.

RGB Lighting

Set the RGB lighting the way you want it — choose from different effects (Static, Breathing, and Comet) or sync the lights with your favourite music via Music Mode. All this can be done through RGB control software from all the major motherboard brands. Ecosystem compatibility covers ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, and ASRock Polychrome Sync. The RGB diffuser and aluminium heat spreader measure 133.35 × 40 × 8mm — a standard module height that fits the vast majority of tower CPU coolers without clearance concerns. For a low-profile non-RGB alternative at DDR5-6000 CL48, the Lancer Blade (AX5U6000C4816G) is also listed in this range.

Performance & Dual-Platform Overclocking

The AX5U6000C3016G-CLARBK runs at DDR5-6000MT/s, CL30-40-40 at 1.35V, with Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO support for easy overclocking. Without a profile enabled the module defaults to JEDEC DDR5-4800. The 1.35V operating voltage is standard for DDR5-6000 CL30 — within safe DDR5 parameters and consistent with other premium CL30 DDR5-6000 modules. The XPG Lancer DDR5 delivers increased bandwidth, allocates more bandwidth per CPU core, and reaches frequencies of 6000MT/s — equipped with a PMIC and ECC for enhanced performance and stability.

💡 XMP 3.0 or AMD EXPO must be enabled for rated speed: Without activating the appropriate profile in BIOS, this module defaults to JEDEC DDR5-4800 at CL40. Enable Intel XMP 3.0 or AMD EXPO to unlock DDR5-6000 at CL30-40-40. Updating your BIOS before installation is strongly recommended.

Build Quality & DDR5 Features

High-quality ICs and PCBs ensure uncompromised performance and reliable overclocking, ideal for discerning gamers and overclockers. The XPG Lancer DDR5 features a built-in PMIC that enhances power supply stability, with lower operating voltage also making it more power-efficient than DDR4. On-die ECC corrects errors in real-time to provide increased stability and reliability. A Blizzard White variant is also available in this lineup for all-white builds.

DDR5 Platform Requirements

DDR5 is not compatible with DDR4 motherboards or slots. A DDR5-capable motherboard and CPU is required — Intel 12th generation or later on a DDR5-compatible board, or AMD Ryzen 7000 series (AM5) or later.

⚠️ DDR5 is not compatible with DDR4 slots: Verify that both your motherboard and CPU support DDR5 before purchasing.

⚠️ Check CPU cooler clearance: At 40mm tall, the Lancer RGB is taller than the Lancer Blade’s low-profile design. Verify your CPU cooler’s RAM clearance before purchasing if running a large tower air cooler.

⚠️ Single stick = single channel: For dual-channel bandwidth and symmetrical RGB, install a second AX5U6000C3016G-CLARBK in your motherboard’s recommended paired DIMM slots.
