Crucial Pro - DDR5 - Module - 16 GB - DIMM 288-PIN Low Profile

The Crucial DDR5 16GB 5600MHz memory module (CP16G56C46U5) delivers higher bandwidth and improved efficiency compared with previous-generation DDR4 modules. With a 16 GB capacity, 5600 MHz clock speed and 46 CAS latency, this DIMM is designed to boost system responsiveness for demanding desktop and server workloads while maintaining stability through on-die ECC and modern power management.

Advantages

Crucial DDR5 provides up to 50% more data transfer capacity and up to 50% faster speeds at launch compared to DDR4, resulting in faster load times, file transfers and reduced lag. The module uses two independent 32-bit channels per module and on-die ECC for stable long-term performance. On-module voltage regulation (PMIC) and a lower operating voltage (1.1 V) improve power efficiency and signal integrity. Backed by Micron engineering and Crucial’s limited lifetime warranty, the module combines tested reliability with next-generation performance.

Suitable for

• High-performance desktop PCs for gaming and content creation
• Workstations and servers requiring improved multitasking and throughput
• Systems being upgraded from DDR4 to DDR5 for higher bandwidth

How to use

Install the Crucial DDR5 module into a compatible DDR5 DIMM slot on a motherboard that supports DDR5 memory. Ensure the system power is off and follow the motherboard manufacturer’s instructions for DIMM orientation and insertion. After installation, enable the appropriate memory settings in BIOS/UEFI if required, or allow the system to configure timings automatically. For multi-module configurations, install modules in the recommended slots to enable dual-channel operation.

Recommendations

Use this 16 GB Crucial DDR5 5600 MHz module in motherboards and systems explicitly supporting DDR5. When combining modules, use identical capacity and speed for best compatibility. Keep BIOS/UEFI and chipset drivers up to date to ensure optimal performance and stability.
