Question 1

Newegg is selling this as part of an AMD AM5 motherboard combo, does this RAM support AMD Expo?

Accepted Answer

The product information does not mention support for AMD Expo.

Question 2

There appears to be a Intel and AMD version of this memory. Is there any issue using this on an AMD mother board?

Accepted Answer

I have had no issues running this on my GIGABYTE B650M GAMING PLUS WIFI AM5, even though it says that it is XMP memory.  I got it as a freebie combo with the MB, so I figured I wasn't out anything if it did not work.  Happy to say that I'm Happy

Question 3

Why DDR5 RAM is so expensive now?

Accepted Answer

DDR5 Memory is pricey due to the surging demand from AI server farms and data centers, which has caused a global memory shortage. This has led memory manufacturers to prioritize more profitable server-grade memory like HBM (high-Bandwidth Memory) over consumer-grade DDR5, drastically reducing supply for consumers while simultaneously causing the prices for both DDR5 and DDR4 to increase.

Question 4

Are there any software requirements for controlling the RGB settings of this RAM?

Accepted Answer

The RAM features powerful CORSAIR iCUE Software, which allows for dynamic RGB lighting control synchronized across your entire iCUE setup, as well as custom XMP profiles.

Question 5

What is the voltage requirement for these memory modules?

Accepted Answer

The voltage requirement for these memory modules is 1.40V.

Question 6

I saw that Newegg is giving away RAM with the purchase of an X870 motherboard. However, the pictures show that the RAM uses an XMP profile.
Do you know if an EXPO version will be shipped instead?

Accepted Answer

no

Question 7

I bought Corsair memory CMH32GX5M2D6000C36 at the end of 2023. Newegg is out of stock of that those but these are nearly identical. These are 0.05 higher in voltage and the timing is different. I know very little about PC hardware. Will these work with my older RAM modules?

Accepted Answer

They can probably be made to work if you were comfortable with the technical aspects required. Given your statement about knowning "very little about PC hardware", I would not recommend them.  You would be better served by acquiring a matched set at the size and speed recommended by your motherboard. See if the MB manf. has a QVL (Qualified Vendor List) on their website (the QVL is MB specific, so first find your MB on the website). The QVL will give you the tested manufacturer and part numbers.

Question 8

Why is Newegg paring Intel Ram as a gift with an AMD mother board?

Accepted Answer

It looks like the board shipping with the combo I see (Gigabyte B650E Aorus Elite) also supports Intel XMP memory.
