Dual-Channel DDR5 5600 Kit for Modern Desktops

This Crucial DDR5 Classic kit provides 16GB of memory as two 8GB unbuffered DIMMs. Rated at DDR5 5600 (PC5 44800) with CL46 latency and 1.10V operation, it targets mainstream desktop builds. Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO profiles are included for automatic configuration.

Suited for Standard DDR5 Platforms Without

The modules suit 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core and AMD Ryzen 7000 Series desktop CPUs where a low-profile, heatspreader-free design is preferred. Builders requiring ECC, registered modules, RGB lighting or higher factory speeds should consider other kits.

DDR5 5600 CL46 at 1.10V Sets the Performance

The decisive specification is the DDR5 5600 speed combined with CL46 latency at 1.10V. This JEDEC-level rating defines the kit's default throughput and compatibility floor before any XMP or EXPO profile is applied.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 16 GB dual-channel kit or look for a different capacity?

This kit provides 16 GB as two matched 8 GB modules, giving you dual-channel performance on a consumer desktop board.

What does DDR5 5600 actually deliver once installed in a PC?

The modules run at 5600 MT/s with CL46 latency at 1.10 V, and the board will set those timings automatically when XMP 3.0 or AMD EXPO is enabled.

Which standard does the memory use and what does it cap in practice?

It uses DDR5 with Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO profiles, so the speed ceiling is the 5600 MT/s rating unless the CPU or motherboard imposes a lower limit.
