Introduction
Today we’re taking a look at KLEVV’s CRAS V RGB DDR5 48GB (2x24GB) 7600 memory kit (KD5KGUD80-76B360G) to see how it performs on our Rocket Lake Refresh test bed to see if its speed will put your gaming rig over the top. The KLEVV CRAS V RGB line of memory is available in speeds ranging from 6000MHz all the way up to 8400MHz with kit capacities ranging from 32GB up to 64GB. The 7600MHz variety that we’re looking at today has timings of 36-46-46-86 at 1.4V using an XMP profile.
KLEVV is the premium brand for Essencore which was established in 2014 with the mission to be a leader in semiconductor distribution. They specialize in DRAM and NAND flash products. The KLEVV brand is focused on gaming memory modules and solid-state drives with first-rate quality that are engineered for enthusiasts.
KLEVV CRAS V RGB DDR5 48GB (2x24GB) 7600MHz Memory
The KLEVV CRAS V RGB DDR5 48GB (2x24GB) 7600MHz Memory comes in a black box adorned with images of the KLEVV memory sticks showing off its RGB bling and the AMD EXPO and Intel XMP logos. Flipping over to the back, we’ve got the customary mice type in seven languages about its features, a label indicating the speed and capacity of the memory, and a disclaimer of warranty that claims a limited lifetime warranty.
Inside the packaging, we found two 24GB modules labeled with the part number KD5KGUD80-76B360G. The modules are clad in a black heat spreader which adds a KLEVV logo on a slope towards the RGB light bar. Along the top, we have a white translucent inset to allow the RGB to shine through with the KLEVV name on the right-hand side.
The kits sport Hynix memory modules that have a tested (and marketed) frequency is PC5-60800 (7600MHz) at timings of 36-46-46-86 at 1.4V. They are equipped with a thermal sensor, on-die ECC, and support for your favorite motherboard manufacturer’s RGB bling controller.
From a sizing perspective, the KLEVV CRAS V RGB DDR5 48GB (2x24GB) 7600MHz Memory measures in at 1.75” in height, which is not the smallest that we’ve looked at but not the largest either. As usual, if you’re doing the large tower block cooler thing, keep an eye on clearances on your motherboard.
Installation and Configuration
We installed the KLEVV CRAS V RGB DDR5 48GB (2x24GB) 7600MHz Memory into our ASRock Phantom Gaming Z790 NOVA WIFI Motherboard that is paired with an Intel 14700K processor. We have installed the Version 6.02 BIOS that includes the 0x129 microcode update. The RGB entered a default pattern that paired with the other RGB bling on our test rig.
By default, the modules load up the base timings described above which is PC5-38400 (4800MHz) at 40-40-40-77 however throwing the XMP switch bumped it up to PC5-60800 (7600MHz) at timings of 36-46-46-86. We were able to boot into Windows 11 and start benchmarking without an issue.
Test Setup
We will be utilizing the ASRock Phantom Gaming NOVA WIFI motherboard and the other based on an Intel i7 14700K CPU. We will operate the Intel using the XMP profile and compare it to the Patriot Xtreme 5 RGB DDR5 8000MHz memory at 7600MHz using its XMP profile for that speed.
Overclocking
For overclocking, we took a shot at 8000MHz to get started, however, that resulted in some grumbling from the reviewer as he reset the BIOS when it didn’t work. Setting to 7800MHz achieved a successful boot into Windows and non-crashing benchmarks. We left the timings alone at the XMP-configured speed. We rolled forward at 7800MHz for our overclocking testing speed. Of note, 7800MHz is the likely maximum capability of our test rig (a 4 DIMM board) as we’ve yet to get it to post with any combination of CPUs and 2 DIMMs of memory above 7800MHz.

Conclusion
This marks the second set of DDR5 that we’ve looked at from KLEVV, with the first being the BOLT V about a year ago. Quite frankly, I’m surprised they wanted to send us another kit to review after their reaction to reading that review. However, it’s a good thing that they took it in stride and sent us this kit.
The KLEVV CRAS V RGB DDR5 48GB (2x24GB) 7600MHz Memory did not disappoint with its performance, trading blows with the Patriot Xtreme RGB kit that we compared it to (which is capable of 8000MHz speeds) across our suite of productivity and gaming benchmarks. We also spent a few days with it running in EXPO mode on a Ryzen 7950X system where it also performed well at 7600MHz EXPO speeds.
Final Points
At the time of publication, this memory kit is not yet available for purchase and KLEVV was not able to provide an estimated price of the kit. We took a look at the 2x16GB version of the CRAS V and found that it is priced very competitively against other 7600MHz memory kits. If this kit is priced with the same relative value, it would present a great value. The pricing component of the score is tentative based upon this assumption – we’ll come back and update it when it lands on the market and add our pricing widget.
Wrapping things up, the KLEVV’s CRAS V RGB DDR5 48GB (2x24GB) 7600 memory kit is a solid memory kit that is a great choice to jump on, especially if you’re looking for high-end performance out of a larger amount of memory. The 48GB capacity is a more ideal target for PC rigs at this time as 32GB kits are getting pushed to their limits and 64/96GB kits have a significant trade-off for price/performance.
That being said, the KLEVV CRAS V RGB DDR5 48GB (2x24GB) 7600MHz Memory should be at the top of your shortlist for your rig if you’re in the market for a blazing fast 48GB memory kit.
