Single 8 GB DDR5 module for mainstream desktops
This Crucial DDR5 Classic DIMM delivers 8 GB at 5600 MT/s with CL46 latency and 1.10 V operation. It targets users building or upgrading a PC with a 12th or 13th Gen Intel Core or AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processor.
Builders who need one stick for a single-channel
The kit contains a single unbuffered, non-ECC module with Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO profiles, so it suits a first stick or a solo-slot board. Users wanting dual-channel bandwidth or higher capacity should select a matched multi-channel kit instead.
288-pin DDR5 5600 interface decides fit
The module uses the standard 288-pin DDR5 form factor and runs at PC5 44800 speed. If the motherboard and CPU combination supports DDR5 5600 this part will work; otherwise a different DDR5 speed grade is required.
