Capacity and speed

This is a single 16GB DDR5 module rated at 5600MT/s with CL40 40-40-40 timings. It targets desktop gaming and home office systems that need a straightforward memory upgrade.

Compatibility check

Verify your motherboard supports DDR5 and the 288-pin UDIMM form factor before ordering. The module runs at 1.25V and is validated for Intel 12th-generation or newer CPUs and AMD AM5 platforms.

Build and daily use

A black metal heat spreader covers the PCB to help manage thermals under sustained loads. No LEDs are present, so the module stays visually neutral inside any chassis. Intel XMP 3.0 support allows one-click profile selection when the firmware permits.

Questions about this item

Does this single 16 GB module work on both Intel 12th-gen and newer CPUs and AMD AM5 motherboards?

Yes, the stick is validated for Intel 12th-generation and newer processors as well as AMD AM5 platforms, running at 5600 MT/s with CL40 timings.

Will the metal heat spreader fit under a large tower CPU cooler?

The low-profile FURY metal spreader is designed to clear most standard tower coolers while keeping the module at 1.25 V under load.

Is XMP 3.0 required to reach 5600 MT/s, or does it run at that speed by default?

The module defaults to JEDEC 5600 MT/s; enabling Intel XMP 3.0 simply confirms the rated 40-40-40 timing profile.
