White memory used to cost more for slower kits. Now white kits match the speed and timing of the black ones.

We compared six white DDR5 kits. This is a research-based comparison built from maker specifications and retailer listings; we did not test these parts ourselves.

Our Picks

Best Plain White1 of 6

KLEVV Bolt V 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30

The KLEVV Bolt V is a white 6000MT/s CL30 kit at 1.35V with both EXPO and XMP profiles, and the maker specifies SK Hynix A-die memory.

Best for

White builds without lighting.

Skip if

If budget leads, the Crucial Pro 6400 White was cheaper at our last price check.
KLEVV Bolt V 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30

Why we like it

On CAS latency it ties with the FURY Beast White and the FURY Beast White RGB at CL30. You also get a white heatspreader without lighting. Enable the memory profile in the BIOS after installing it; without it, the kit runs at a slower default speed.

It is a DDR5 kit for AM5, LGA1851 and DDR5 versions of LGA1700 boards; it does not fit DDR4 slots. The nearest alternative on rated speed is the Crucial Pro 6400 White at 6400MT/s, against 6000MT/s here. On price it sat fourth of 6, between the cheaper Trident Z5 RGB White and the pricier FURY Beast White, at the time of writing.

Worth Considering2 of 6

Kingston FURY Beast White 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30

FURY Beast White is a 6000MT/s CL30 kit in a white finish without lighting.

Best for

Buyers who want tight cl30 timings.

Skip if

Skip it if price comes first: the Crucial Pro 6400 White cost less when we checked.
Kingston FURY Beast White 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30

Why we like it

It is XMP 3.0 certified, and the white heat spreader suits light builds. It matches the Bolt V and the FURY Beast White RGB on CAS latency (CL30). Enable the memory profile in the BIOS after installing it; without it, the kit runs at a slower default speed.

It is a DDR5 kit for AM5, LGA1851 and DDR5 versions of LGA1700 boards; it does not fit DDR4 slots. Another plus: tight CL30 timings. You also get this: 6000MT/s, the usual sweet spot for AM5. It was priced above the Bolt V and below the FURY Beast White RGB at the time of writing.

Best White RGB3 of 6

Kingston FURY Beast White RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30

FURY Beast White RGB offers 6000MT/s at CL30 with both EXPO and XMP profiles, with lighting on a white heatspreader.

Best for

RGB white builds.

Skip if

If budget leads, the Crucial Pro 6400 White was cheaper at our last price check.
Kingston FURY Beast White RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30

Why we like it

On CAS latency it ties with the Bolt V and the FURY Beast White at CL30. On rated speed it ties with the Bolt V, the FURY Beast White, the Trident Z5 RGB White and the Delta RGB White at 6000MT/s. It also offers Kingston's infrared RGB syncing.

Enable the memory profile in the BIOS after installing it; without it, the kit runs at a slower default speed. It is a DDR5 kit for AM5, LGA1851 and DDR5 versions of LGA1700 boards; it does not fit DDR4 slots. RGB heatspreaders are taller than plain ones, so check the clearance under a large tower cooler. It was the highest-priced of the 6 picks at the time of writing, so the case for it rests on what it adds over the FURY Beast White and the rest.

Best for

Intel white builds.

Skip if

Skip it if this is a deal-breaker for you: cAS latency of CL32, behind the Bolt V (CL30).
Crucial Pro 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6400 CL32 White

Why we like it

Its CL32 CAS latency ranks fourth of 6 here, behind the Bolt V (CL30) and ahead of the Delta RGB White (CL38). On rated speed it leads this guide at 6400MT/s, ahead of the Bolt V (6000MT/s). It also offers Micron memory from Crucial's parent company.

Enable the memory profile in the BIOS after installing it; without it, the kit runs at a slower default speed. It is a DDR5 kit for AM5, LGA1851 and DDR5 versions of LGA1700 boards; it does not fit DDR4 slots. No other pick here cost less at our last price check, and the Delta RGB White was closest.

The catch

If CAS latency is your priority, the Bolt V (CL30) is the stronger choice.

How We Chose

Alex Morgan compared the manufacturer specifications, connectivity, warranty terms and compatibility of every pick. Figures come from the makers unless a third-party source is named; we did not test these products ourselves.

The figures behind the order
We set side by side six kits on CAS latency, rated speed, capacity and voltage as the makers state them. Nothing was tested in-house; 5 of the 8 fields compared are stated for every pick, while voltage and profiles have gaps.
The shared baseline
All 6, from the Bolt V to the Delta RGB White, state CAS latency, rated speed and capacity and share DDR5 memory type and White colour.
Where the specs have gaps
The FURY Beast White, the FURY Beast White RGB, the Crucial Pro 6400 White and the Delta RGB White give no voltage; the FURY Beast White gives no profiles.
Price range
At our last check the picks ran from the Crucial Pro 6400 White ($250 to $500) to the FURY Beast White RGB ($500 to $1000).

What to Look for in a White RAM

Key buying criteria so you get the right fit the first time.

  1. CAS latency

    Here CAS latency runs from CL38 on the Delta RGB White to CL30 on the Bolt V, a 21% spread. Start with the Bolt V if CAS latency decides it.

  2. How much rated speed you need

    The Crucial Pro 6400 White tops rated speed at 6400MT/s and the Delta RGB White sits lowest at 6000MT/s. The Crucial Pro 6400 White is the pick for rated speed.

  3. Features beyond the spec table

    The FURY Beast White RGB: Kingston's infrared RGB syncing. The Trident Z5 RGB White: timings of 36-36-36-96. The Delta RGB White: one of the lowest prices among the white kits.

  4. Budget

    $250 to $500 buys the Crucial Pro 6400 White and the Delta RGB White; $500 to $1000 buys the Trident Z5 RGB White, the Bolt V, the FURY Beast White and the FURY Beast White RGB at our last check.

  5. Match the pick to your priority

    White builds without lighting: the Bolt V. RGB white builds: the FURY Beast White RGB. Intel white builds: the Crucial Pro 6400 White.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Bolt V compare with the Crucial Pro 6400 White on rated speed?

The Crucial Pro 6400 White leads at 6400MT/s, with the Bolt V at 6000MT/s.

Is the FURY Beast White RGB worth paying more than the Crucial Pro 6400 White?

On paper it adds CAS latency (CL30 against CL32). It does not win everywhere: the Crucial Pro 6400 White still leads on rated speed (6400MT/s). The Crucial Pro 6400 White sat in the $250 to $500 tier and the FURY Beast White RGB in the $500 to $1000 tier when we checked, with 4 other picks between them; pay the difference only if CAS latency decides your purchase.

What makes the Bolt V the Best Plain White?

The label rests on 6000MT/s CL30 at 1.35V with both profiles. It gives up rated speed (6000MT/s against 6400MT/s) to the Crucial Pro 6400 White, the cheapest pick. It suits white builds without lighting.

Which of these kits have RGB?

The FURY Beast White RGB, the Trident Z5 RGB White and the Delta RGB White have it. The makers of the Bolt V, the FURY Beast White and the Crucial Pro 6400 White don't state RGB, so 3 of 6 picks are covered here.

Beyond the specs, what sets the Bolt V and the FURY Beast White apart?

The Bolt V: SK Hynix A-die memory. The FURY Beast White: a white heatspreader without lighting. The FURY Beast White RGB: Kingston's infrared RGB syncing.

Bottom Line

The KLEVV Bolt V is the plain white pick, FURY Beast White RGB the lit one. Crucial Pro 6400 White is fastest, and Delta RGB White is cheaper.
