I'm considering the Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 CL32, which is a 32GB Kit (16GBx2) designed for OC gaming. The model number is CP2K16G64C32U5W. I came across a comment saying Micron memory is no good, and I also read that this RAM might not overclock at all, although I don't plan on overclocking myself. I have a few questions: Is this RAM any good? If it can't be overclocked, does that mean it operates at its limits and could be less stable compared to other options? Lastly, is this RAM suitable for Intel Ultra processors?

Just to clarify, the 5600MHz is also an overclock, just like the 6400MHz. Anything above the standard JEDEC speed of 4800MT/s for DDR5 is considered overclocking. For AMD Ryzen 7000 and 9000 series chips, hitting 6000MHz with CL30 is ideal. So, for you, the 6400 CL32 and 6000 CL30 are very similar, but you might run into some issues trying to keep your RAM at 6400MHz.
1. Crucial RAM works well at its rated speeds.
2. The 6400 speed is actually considered overclocking, which means that it's the maximum guaranteed limit. You might want to look at a more affordable 5600 kit if overclocking isn’t your thing.
3. Yes, it should work great with Intel Ultra processors, as any RAM kit typically will when not overclocked.
