Vengeance DDR5 5600 16GB Kit

This Vengeance DDR5 5600 kit provides 16GB across two 8GB modules for desktop systems. It targets AMD and Intel platforms that support the DDR5 standard and dual-channel operation.

Installing the 288-Pin Modules

The 288-pin DIMMs seat in standard desktop slots and the gray aluminum heatspreader keeps the profile low enough for most CPU coolers. Enable the AMD EXPO or Intel XMP 3.0 profile in BIOS to reach the rated 5600 speed; otherwise the modules run at a lower default frequency.

Capacity and Headroom at CL40

Sixteen gigabytes handles mainstream gaming, content creation and multitasking with comfortable headroom. Heavy workloads such as large video timelines or virtualisation clusters will exhaust the 16GB capacity before the CL40 40-40-40-77 timing becomes a bottleneck.

Questions about this item

Does this kit fit a motherboard with only two DDR5 slots?

Yes, the kit contains two 288-pin DDR5 modules and is a dual-channel kit, so it occupies both slots on a two-slot board.

Will the rated 5600 speed and CL40 timings apply automatically?

The modules carry both AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0 profiles; enable the appropriate profile in the BIOS to run at 5600 with 40-40-40-77 timings at 1.25 V.

Is the gray heatspreader low enough for large CPU coolers?

The aluminum heatspreader is designed for wide compatibility with a huge range of motherboards and CPU coolers, keeping modules cool without blocking most tower coolers.
