Kit capacity and target use

This 16 GB dual-channel kit uses two 8 GB DDR5 modules rated at 5200 MT/s with CL40 timings. It is intended for desktop gaming systems that support unbuffered non-ECC memory and the Intel XMP 3.0 profile.

Sustained-load behaviour

The modules operate at a standard 1.25 V and carry timings of 40-40-40-77 across the tested frequency. Unbuffered DDR5 architecture helps maintain stable throughput during extended gaming or rendering sessions without registered buffering overhead.

Build and daily implications

Black heat spreaders cover each 288-pin UDIMM to aid thermal management while fitting standard desktop slots. On-board RGB lighting adds visual customisation, and the kit is validated for compatibility with both AMD and Intel platforms.

Questions about this item

How much power does each module draw at the rated 1.25V while running at 5200MHz?

The kit operates at 1.25V; DDR5 modules at this voltage typically draw a few watts each under load, so total heat output stays low for a 16GB dual-channel set.

What motherboard slot and firmware feature are required to run this kit at its tested 5200MHz CL40 profile?

A 288-pin DDR5 DIMM slot and a BIOS that supports Intel XMP 3.0 are needed to enable the 5200MHz 40-40-40-77 profile automatically.

Will the black heat spreaders and RGB lighting clear a large air cooler mounted on an older platform?

The modules use standard-height heat spreaders with RGB; they fit most dual-tower coolers, but verify your cooler’s DIMM clearance spec before installing.
