16 GB DDR5 SO-DIMM for notebooks

This Kingston FURY Impact module delivers 16 GB of DDR5 memory in a 262-pin SO-DIMM form factor. It targets notebook and gaming notebook owners who want a straightforward capacity upgrade. The JEDEC-standard 4800 MT/s speed and 1.10 V operation suit mainstream mobile platforms without requiring manual tuning.

Plug-in installation with standard keying

Installation follows the usual SO-DIMM procedure: align the notch, insert at an angle and press down until the side clips engage. The unbuffered, non-ECC design matches the slot wiring found in most consumer notebooks. Compatibility issues typically arise only when a system BIOS limits memory speed below the rated 4800 MT/s or restricts maximum module capacity per slot.

16 GB single-module capacity headroom

A single 16 GB module covers everyday multitasking, modern games and content-creation workloads that fit within this capacity. Performance scales with the 4800 MT/s data rate and CL38 timings provided by the platform. Systems requiring more than 16 GB total memory or higher frequencies will need additional modules or a different specification.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the module is running at 4800 MT/s with CL38 after installation?

Check the memory speed and timings in your laptop BIOS or with a system-information tool such as CPU-Z; they should show 4800 MT/s and 38-38-38.

What comes in the package and is anything else required for installation?

The box contains one 16 GB 262-pin DDR5 SO-DIMM; no extra parts are needed if your laptop has a free DDR5 SO-DIMM slot.

Should I choose this 16 GB CL38 stick or look for a different capacity or latency?

This is a single 16 GB module rated at CL38; select it when you need exactly 16 GB at 4800 MT/s, otherwise choose a kit that matches your desired total capacity and latency.
