Micron is the worst DDR5 you can get. Even my 2 years old Samsung does better than that joke of "Pro Overclocking".

It has seemed like Micron decided to mostly keep Crucial as an OEM brand when it comes to memory since they discontinued the Ballistix branding. Their DDR5 IC has gotten better, but this is definitely the generation of SK Hynix as pretty much every kit over 7000 is them. It will be interesting to see if the new, larger, chips coming out will shift things at all.

It's probably better than most of you think. I have the 6000 version in a secondary system I built on the (semi) cheap, and it's super stable and you can't tell the difference between it and the faster/more expensive CL30 Hynix memory I have in my not-at-all cheap system in anything except benchmarks, for 25% less money. You can get the 6000 for like $96 for 32GB vs 120-something for Corsair with SK Hynix RAM.

EDIT: The 6400 is too expensive, 32GB is 118 vs 115 for CL32 Corsair with RGB (or CL30 6000 is 115 too). I'd definitely go with the Corsair at these prices.

Micron's memory IC is fine it just doesn't scale well in terms of clock speed/latency. So if you happen to be doing something that benefits from these it's not a good choice.
