Product Specifications

SO-DIMM Form Factor for Laptops

This module uses the 262-pin SO-DIMM form factor. It is physically designed to fit into laptop memory slots. The height is 30 mm and the width is 69.6 mm. Because laptop chassis designs vary, you must verify physical clearance inside your device. This is a low-profile module suitable for most modern notebooks.

DDR5 Performance and Efficiency

The module runs at a data transfer rate of 5600 MT/s. It operates at a standard voltage of 1.1 V, which can help manage power consumption. Because it is DDR5, it includes On-Die ECC for internal data integrity. However, this is not the same as full server-grade ECC. This speed tier is suitable for general computing and multitasking.

Compatibility and Validation

Kingston ValueRAM is validated against major motherboard manufacturer sites. This includes brands like Asus, MSI, and Gigabyte. However, validation does not guarantee compatibility with every specific laptop model number. You should always check your laptop manufacturer’s memory support list before purchasing. This ensures the speed and latency are supported by your system BIOS.

Construction and Reliability

The module features gold lead plating for connectivity. It is rated for an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C. The storage temperature range is -55 °C to 100 °C. It is compliant with RoHS standards and does not contain halogen. This module is unregistered (unbuffered) and non-ECC.
