Hi,
I am thinking of upgrading my RAM as I hit 32GB+ usage when working. I have been looking at 96GB(2*48GB) kits. 5200/5600/6400 are almost the same price and the 6400 kit is cl32, 5200=cl38, 5600=cl40. I will not be running it at 6400, so the question is: do XMP kits have more than one preset profile? I remember I had a DDR3 XMP kit which had two, one was the top speed and the other was a bit lower. The kit I am looking at: CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 96GB (2x48GB) 6400MHz CL32 (CMK96GX5M2B6400C32). I’m hoping it will have a second preset profile for 5200 or 5600 but they never list anything other than the top one. I don’t want to have to set value manually, I would rather just by the slower RAM. Think I could set the XMP, then just drop the frequency to 5200/5600 but this would mean running it at a higher voltage than needed which is not ideal. Anyone have an XMP DDR5 kit that has more than one profile out of the box?
Thanks.
 
OK, thanks.
Looks like no lower speed profile. Think I will still get the 6400 kit as they are likely to be Hynix M-die so should be better even if I just run them at stock 4800. Will also have a better resale value down the line.
