XMP / EXPOJEDEC SPD; no XMP or EXPO profile listed for this SKU
CompatibilitySingle 288-pin DDR5 desktop UDIMM for a host supporting a 16 GB module at up to 5200 MT/s. Verify motherboard QVL, CPU memory-controller support, BIOS and slot population. Unbuffered, non-ECC system memory; DDR5 on-die ECC is not system ECC.

Compatibility, service & archive notes

  • Single 288-pin DDR5 desktop UDIMM for a host supporting a 16 GB module at up to 5200 MT/s. Verify motherboard QVL, CPU memory-controller support, BIOS and slot population. Unbuffered, non-ECC system memory; DDR5 on-die ECC is not system ECC.
  • Check motherboard QVL and service manual, CPU memory-controller generation, BIOS, DIMM density, slot population and supported ranks before installation. A host may select a lower SPD rate.
  • This is a DDR5 desktop UDIMM, not a SO-DIMM, RDIMM or LRDIMM. DDR generations and buffering classes are not interchangeable.
  • DDR5 on-die ECC is internal correction, not system-level ECC reporting. This module is non-ECC; system ECC requires a compatible ECC module, CPU, motherboard and firmware.
  • Power down, use ESD controls, handle by the edges and never force a keyed DIMM. Retain a label photograph and read-only SPD dump with the host, BIOS, slot and test results.
