Critical Specifications

DDR5 Performance at 5600 MT/s

This ValueRAM module operates at 5600 MT/s, providing substantial bandwidth improvements over DDR4 memory. The DDR5 standard offers higher data rates while maintaining lower power consumption at just 1.1V. For everyday computing tasks, content creation, or office applications, this speed ensures smooth multitasking without the premium price of higher-frequency modules.

Registered Unbuffered Design for Compatibility

The unbuffered (unregistered) design makes this module compatible with most standard desktop motherboards and consumer-grade systems. Unlike registered ECC memory designed for servers, this unbuffered configuration works seamlessly with AMD and Intel platforms that support DDR5. The 288-pin DIMM form factor ensures it fits standard memory slots across a wide range of systems.

Gold-Plated Contacts for Reliable Connections

Gold lead plating provides superior corrosion resistance and ensures consistent electrical contact over the module’s lifetime. This feature becomes particularly important in environments with varying humidity or temperature conditions. The gold contacts maintain signal integrity, reducing the likelihood of memory errors caused by oxidation or poor connectivity.

Low Voltage Operation for Efficiency

Operating at just 1.1V, this DDR5 module consumes less power than previous-generation memory. Lower voltage translates to reduced heat generation, which can contribute to better system stability and potentially lower cooling requirements. The efficiency gain is particularly noticeable during extended use periods or in systems with multiple memory modules.
