CORSAIR memory is typically available in three colors: Black, White, and Cool Gray. Have a look at the range of CORSAIR DDR5 kits available and you'll often see the option to pick the color for the memory you are interested in. We make these colors available because we know how important a PC's aesthetic is, and these three options give plenty of scope for your builds.
What is probably not so widely known is that our memory kits intended for Intel XMP 3.0 platforms are only available in Black and White, while memory that supports AMD EXPO is exclusively available in Cool Gray. This makes shopping for new memory that little bit easier, as once you know what to look out for, you can ensure that you get the right memory for your system.
In answer to the original question then, is AMD EXPO DDR5 memory available in white? The answer is no.
It's worth highlighting at this point why we produce Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO versions of our memory. Basically, it's for compatibility reasons. AMD EXPO memory is designed to work effortlessly with AMD's latest Ryzen 7000 CPUs, in the same way that Intel XMP 3.0 DDR5 is designed for Intel's latest platforms.
Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO are both standards that make running your memory at the intended frequencies and latencies straightforward. Getting the memory up and running optimally is as simple as plugging them in, turning on your machine, and then popping into the BIOS to select the optimal profile from a drop-down list. A restart later and your memory will be running perfectly.
If you have your heart set on piecing together an all-white build, then the knowledge that we don't produce white DDR5 memory for AMD machines may initially be annoying. However, it's worth highlighting that (at least at the time of writing) there are no white X670, B650 or A620 motherboards available that you could pair such memory with. Motherboard manufacturers have produced such offerings in the past, but right now, there's nothing out there to build such a system around.
Still, if you're someone that doesn't like to accept "no" as answer, there may be another way.
One option you do have, if you're totally determined to create such a build, is to pick up a white Intel XMP 3.0 DRAM kit and manually set the timings for the memory in the BIOS yourself. This isn't as straightforward as selecting the predefined timings from a drop-down list, and you're going to have to experiment to get the right timings for your specific motherboard.
There are no guarantees either, and you may find that you're limited to JEDEC spec timings, which are significantly slower. Still if you're determined to get a certain look, this is the cost you may have to pay.
If this is something you want to do, then it's worth highlighting a tool that can help you with your tinkering. CPU-Z is a great utility for many reasons, but it's ability to interrogate the timings table for your memory means that you should have a good place to start your tinkering. You'll find the timing information under the SPD tab.
Just to reiterate though, this isn't something we'd suggest for most builds, as it isn't straightforward and there are no guarantees that a kit designed with Intel XMP 3.0 in mind will work with an AMD platform and vice versa.
