As games and apps get ever larger and we get used to keeping dozens of tabs open in our browsers, the upgrade from 16GB to 32GB is steadily moving from a want to a need. Thankfully, with this Crucial DDR5 gaming RAM deal this Black Friday weekend, you can make that upgrade for the incredibly low price of just $79.99.
The Crucial kit on offer is understandably a little more basic than some, with no integrated RGB lighting, so it doesn’t top the speed charts on our best gaming RAM guide. However, if you just want to ensure your PC has enough memory to make the most of your CPU, GPU, and other components, it’s a great option.
The RAM in question is specifically the CP2K16G56C46U5 kit, which is from the Crucial Pro range and comes in two 16GB sticks with a rated speed of 5600MHz. That’s not the fastest DDR5 around but it’s enough to not meaningfully hold back performance on all but the speediest of gaming PCs.
As its name so clearly and usefully tells us, this kit is rated to CL46 timings, which again is on the slightly slower side but just as with the clock speed, it won’t hold back performance in any game where you’re GPU limited, which is 90% of the time for most games on most PCs.
Meanwhile, the lack of RGB lighting and simple black heatspreaders actually lend this kit a really smart look. It won’t add to the dazzle in your case but it will sink into the background without looking out of place. What’s more, the low height of the modules will ensure you have no issues with the memory interfering with your CPU cooler.
This discount is available in several regions round the world with the US seeing a saving of 47% off the kit’s MSRP, which works out as this being the lowest price this kit has been since Black Friday last year. Just follow this link to grab this superb offer.
As for buyers in the UK, you can also grab a similar deal via this link, with this kit discounted by 37% to just £77.99. That’s again the lowest price this year, with only last year’s Black Friday discount seeing a slightly lower price.
