High-capacity ECC Registered DDR5 kit
This Corsair WS RDIMM kit provides 256 GB across eight 32 GB modules running at DDR5 5600 with CL40 timings. Registered ECC operation corrects single-bit errors and reduces electrical load on the memory controller for stable workstation workloads. The 288-pin form factor fits server and workstation platforms that support registered DDR5 memory.
Sustained-load behaviour with XMP 3.0
Intel XMP 3.0 profiles let the kit reach its rated 5600 MT/s speed and 40-40-40-77 timings at 1.25 V without manual tuning. Rigorously screened ICs maintain tight timing consistency during extended compute sessions such as rendering, simulation or large-dataset analysis. Registered buffering helps preserve signal integrity when all eight slots are populated under continuous heavy traffic.
Platform checks before ordering
Verify that your workstation or server motherboard accepts 288-pin DDR5 RDIMMs and supports Registered ECC operation at the full 256 GB capacity. Confirm the BIOS includes Intel XMP 3.0 support to enable the rated speed and timings with a single setting. Ensure the CPU memory controller is qualified for eight-rank populated configurations at DDR5 5600.

Questions about this item
How much power does the 1.25 V DDR5 5600 kit draw under sustained load?
The modules run at 1.25 V, the standard DDR5 operating voltage, which keeps power draw predictable for continuous workstation workloads.
What motherboard feature is required to use these 288-pin RDIMMs?
A workstation or server board with DDR5 RDIMM slots and registered-memory support is required; standard consumer UDIMM sockets will not accept them.
Can I mix these CL40 registered sticks with older unbuffered DDR5 in the same system?
No — registered and unbuffered DDR5 cannot be mixed, and the memory controller will not initialise a mixed population.
