Model specifications

Exact part / capacityKingston ValueRAM KVR48S40BS6-8; 8 GB
Form factor / rank262-pin DDR5 SO-DIMM; single rank, 1Rx16
Speed / profileDDR5-4800 (PC5-4800), JEDEC timing 40-39-39 (CL40). SPD is programmed for this JEDEC profile; no XMP or EXPO profile is specified.
Voltage1.1 V operating module voltage
ECC / bufferingNon-ECC, unbuffered client module. DDR5 on-die ECC is present in the memory devices; it is not system-level ECC.

Compatibility guidance

  • Use only in a laptop or compact system with a 262-pin DDR5 SO-DIMM socket; it is not compatible with DDR4 or desktop DIMM slots.
  • Confirm the host supports an 8 GB 1Rx16 module and its memory-device density. A DDR5 system may train at a lower common rate if its controller or firmware limit is below 4800 MT/s.
  • Allow the platform to use the module's JEDEC SPD settings; Kingston does not list an XMP/EXPO overclock profile for this ValueRAM module.
  • Check the laptop service manual for slot count, maximum memory, mixed-module behavior, and installation steps. Power down, isolate the battery as directed, and use ESD precautions.
