Model specifications

Exact part / capacityKingston ValueRAM KVR52S42BD8-32; 32 GB
Form factor / rank262-pin DDR5 SO-DIMM; dual rank, 2Rx8
Speed / profileDDR5-5200 (PC5-5200), JEDEC timing 42-42-42 (CL42). 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

  • Requires a 262-pin DDR5 SO-DIMM socket; it is not a DDR4 or desktop DIMM replacement.
  • Check that the CPU, notebook board, and firmware support a 32 GB module, two ranks, and the DRAM density used. Maximum capacity and ranks per slot are system-specific.
  • The module uses JEDEC SPD timing at 5200 MT/s, with no XMP/EXPO profile specified. The host may operate it at a lower supported rate.
  • Follow the laptop service manual for slot population and replacement. ESD precautions and battery/power isolation are required.
