G.SKILL has introduced a new Flare X5X DDR5 memory series, launching initially with a DDR5‑6000 CL36 32GB (2x16GB) kit designed for AMD systems. The Flare X5X line adds support for AMD’s new EXPO Ultra Low Latency (ULL) profile, which uses additional sub‑timing adjustments to improve latency at the same memory speed.

The Flare X5X series builds on G.SKILL’s existing AMD‑focused DDR5 lineup, offering a DDR5‑6000 specification with primary timings of CL36‑36‑36‑76. According to G.SKILL, the new EXPO ULL profile includes extra‑tuned sub‑timings intended to reduce latency when paired with a compatible AMD CPU, motherboard and BIOS version.

The modules use a minimalist, low‑profile heatspreader design without RGB lighting, following the same aesthetic direction as the standard Flare X5 series. G.SKILL states that each kit undergoes internal validation testing to ensure stability at its rated EXPO settings.

As with other EXPO memory kits, the Flare X5X will boot at standard SPD speeds before EXPO is enabled, and reaching the rated DDR5‑6000 EXPO ULL profile requires overclocking support from the motherboard and CPU.

The Flare X5X series will roll out globally in phases over the next few weeks. Pricing will naturally vary, as the whole memory market is in flux right now due to shortages.

KitGuru Says: Are you considering making the jump to an EXPO ULL kit? 

MSI has detailed the new performance optimisations within its Click BIOS X platform, focusing on AMD EXPO Ultra Low Latency (EXPO ULL) support and its built-in High-Efficiency Mode. These two features target reduced RAM latency to improve frame rates in gaming without requiring manual sub-timing adjustments, but while one requires ULL-certified modules, the other doesn't.

AMD EXPO ULL tightens memory sub-timings to lower latency directly out of the box. When compatible modules are installed, MSI Click BIOS X automatically displays an “ULL” indicator for profile selection. Internal testing using AIDA64 on an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and MSI B850MPOWER system showed standard EXPO 6000 MT/s memory (CL30-38-38-96) latency sitting at 79.4ns. Switching to an EXPO ULL profile (CL30-38-38-32) reduced that latency to 71.4ns.

For users running standard EXPO kits, MSI highlights its High-Efficiency Mode feature, which includes Tightest, Tighter, Balance, and Relax presets. Enabling the “Tightest” preset on a standard EXPO module dropped latency from 79.4ns down to 71.6ns, yielding performance comparable to a dedicated EXPO ULL kit. Applying High-Efficiency Mode to an active EXPO ULL profile resulted in marginal gains, reducing latency slightly from 71.4ns to 71.1ns.

MSI notes that High-Efficiency Mode alters memory timings, which can lead to system instability depending on hardware configurations. So, those interested in trying out the feature should note that changing the setting may lead to some instability. Those who want to try it may have to update their BIOS. Once updated, go to the Advanced mode and search for the overclocking tab. There, you'll find the High-Efficiency Mode switch and the Memory Timing Preset options.

KitGuru says: If you're running standard EXPO RAM on an MSI board, toggling High-Efficiency Mode in the BIOS looks like an easy way to snag lower latency without buying a new kit or fiddling with timings yourself.

The new feature reportedly reduces the latency significantly on the standard memory, eliminating any need for EXPO ULL. MSI Rolls Out High-Efficiency Mode With Four Presets to Reduce Memory Latency Without Needing AMD EXPO ULL AMD's new EXPO ULL (Ultra Low Latency) is the company's latest and enhanced EXPO memory profile that can optimize DDR5 memory timings for lower latency. This next level of optimization helps directly in memory-oriented workloads and in gaming, where applications can take advantage of tighter timings. The feature affects the sub-timings to minimize the latency on EXPO ULL memory modules, resulting in a performance boost […]

While at Computex 2026, Leo had a chance to chat with AMD's Bill Alverson to get more details on the new AMD EXPO Ultra Low Latency memory profiles. We also spend some time checking out an LN2-colled RX 9060 XT and get a first-hand look at an overclocking world record being broken.

Watch via YouTube below:

Timestamps:
00:00 AMD EXPO ULL
02:51 LN2 on an 9060 XT!
04:04 World record beaten – attempt 2!

We saw some of the first EXPO ULL DDR5 kits in action over the course of Computex, including G.Skill's new Trident X5 NeoX kit, offering DDR5-6000 speeds at as low as CL26 latency.

Watch to the end of the video to see an attempt to push an RX 9060 XT to 5GHz using LN2!

KitGuru Says: Thanks to Bill for taking the time to get on camera with us. We look forward to seeing more from AMD in the months ahead. 

Asus and MSI have released new BIOS updates based on AGESA ComboAM5 1.3.0.1b, bringing AMD EXPO Ultra Low Latency (ULL) support to older 600-series AM5 motherboards.

As noted by VideoCardz, the feature is currently available on selected Asus X670E motherboards, including the ROG Crosshair X670E Hero, Gene, and Extreme. Download links for BIOS 3803 are also live for the ROG Strix X670E-A, X670E-E, X670E-F, and ProArt X670E Creator WiFi. Other models like the ROG Strix X670E-I Gaming WiFi, TUF Gaming X670E-Plus, and TUF Gaming X670E-Plus WiFi currently show placeholder “38XX” names, indicating their builds are not yet available.

This update introduces three new DRAM timing controls to Ai Tweaker and DRAM Timing Control: “TccdL”, “TccdL_WR”, and “TccdL_WR2”. These releases are still in beta, meaning users with stable configurations might want to wait for the final versions.

MSI is also rolling out AGESA PI-1.3.0.1b updates with an “Optimized with AMD EXPO Technology: Featuring Ultra Low Latency” note for its own AM5 lineup. AMD states that its EXPO Ultra Low Latency feature targets tighter DDR5 sub-timings to reduce latency. The chipmaker claims this offers up to 4% higher average FPS than standard EXPO and up to 13% higher than JEDEC DDR5 when tested on a Ryzen 7 9700X system.

KitGuru says: It is nice to see motherboard vendors backward-porting features like EXPO ULL to older AM5 boards, saving users from needing an immediate upgrade.

G.Skill has announced its new Trident Z5 NeoX RGB DDR5 memory series at Computex 2026, introducing support for AMD's newly released Ultra Low Latency EXPO profiles. The new kits feature specifications ranging from DDR5-6000 CL36 down to DDR5-6000 CL26.

The memory kits leverage the newly updated AMD EXPO ULL technology. According to G.Skill, this technology includes several new memory sub-timing settings designed to deliver better latency performance at identical memory speeds. These enhancements particularly benefit non-X3D AMD desktop processors, and users can enable the performance boost by activating the profile through a compatible BIOS.

This new lineup is an upgrade to the existing Trident Z5 Neo RGB series, and both product families will continue to coexist. G.Skill is offering the memory modules in three colour finishes: mirrored black, matte black, and matte white.

At Computex 2026, the company showcased four distinct specifications in 32GB (2x 16GB) dual-channel kit capacities. These include DDR5-6000 CL36, DDR5-6000 CL30, DDR5-6000 CL28, and DDR5-6000 CL26 configurations. G.Skill states that all kits have been validated through internal stress tests across various motherboards to ensure platform compatibility.

KitGuru says: Getting DDR5-6000 down to CL26 with AMD's new ultra-low-latency profiles should deliver a nice performance bump.

Silicon Power has announced the launch of the XPower Cyclone R DDR5 memory module, a new addition to its performance-focused gaming lineup. As this memory is developed in collaboration with Asus as part of the brand's 20th-anniversary, the module has official ROG-certified status.

The memory module is built on the standard DDR5 architecture, delivering operating speeds of up to 6000MT/s. To maintain reliability under heavy processing loads, the hardware incorporates onboard power management integrated circuits (PMICs) and native on-die Error Correction Code (ECC) technology. The modules also include built-in profiles for AMD EXPO, providing automated overclocking configurations for AMD Ryzen-based PCs.

The design utilises a phantom-black aluminium heat spreader with reverse-slanted gradient lines. There is also an ARGB light bar on the top, which as you would expect, supports Asus Aura Sync. Silicon Power will display the XPower Cyclone R DDR5 memory kits at Computex 2026, which starts next week.
