Klevv Cras XR5 RGB DDR5 RAM review: "Hard to beat in the DDR5 arena"

Klevv Cras XR5 RGB DDR5 RAM with blue and pink RGB lighting while installed in a gaming PC

I've really enjoyed testing out Klevv's Cras XR5 RGB DDR5 RAM - mainly because of the company's origins. Klevv is a memory brand that's headed up by Essencore in Hong Kong. My dad happened to live in Hong Kong for 12 years, and I count myself lucky to call it a second home after spending a lot of my teenage years there. In fact, it's there that I learned a lot about the gaming hardware and technology I work with today.

Hong Kong's technology markets are filled to the brim with smaller brands you probably haven't heard of. Strolling through street stalls or indoor malls, you notice a lot of hardware that bears an uncanny resemblance to bigger brands and models you know, for about a third of the price. That might spark "rip-off" alarm bells in most heads, but for the most part all of those "fakes" will blow big-name rivals out of the water in terms of performance. I can't say that's the case with Klevv's Cras XR5 RGB DDR5 RAM, but for only $98.99 per 16GB DDR5 stick (£120 for two 16GB sticks in the UK), its price-to-performance ratio is unreal among the best RAM for gaming.
