KLEVV Bolt V 32GB 6800MHz DDR5 Memory Review

How Much Does It Cost?

Unfortunately, at the time of writing, I couldn’t find UK or US stock of this kit, but it is coming to our respective shores very soon, so you can check for up-to-date stock and prices on Amazon here.

Overview

KLEVV continue to impress us with quality products that look great, are well made and perform very competitively. The only downside is that they’re still pushing to get retail stock into the UK, so we’re a little early with this review, but it’s a good taster of things to come.

When it comes to specifications, the KLEVV Bolt V comes in three variants, 6000 NT/s, 6400 MT/s and the one we tested, 6800 MT/s DDR5, however, the lower speed ones also come with tighter timings, so I am curious if there would be much difference in their overall performance. I do like the low-profile design of these, as it’s ideal for slimmer systems or scenarios where the cooler may conflict, but they did run a bit warm as a result given the smaller heatsink combined with the higher speeds.

Hopefully, we see a larger heatsink version of the same memory, as I think it’ll run much faster. Of course, it wasn’t exactly slow anyway and delivered some great overall performance in all benchmarks. However, we couldn’t overclock it, it was already maxed out using the XMP profile, which is great, as it worked right out of the box, but again, maybe a larger cooler would help.

Should I Buy One?

KLEVV deliver great performance every time, and I love the toned-down and more mature-looking aesthetic of the heatsinks too. I do like a bit of RGB and crazy designs too, but when it comes to my own PCs, I prefer something a little muted, and I think the KLEVV would look right at home in an office PC or a gaming PC. Great performance, low profile, fast read, write and copy speeds, good timings and low latency all get a thumbs up from me. Now, get it in stock in the UK already KLEVV!
