The Kingston KCP556UD8-32 is a 32GB DDR5 memory module designed for compatible desktop computers and workstations. Operating at a rated data transfer rate of 5600MT/s, it provides additional memory capacity for multitasking, productivity applications, and demanding computing workloads.
This module uses a standard 288-pin DIMM form factor and features CL46 latency, a 1.1V operating voltage, and a dual-rank 2Rx8 configuration. Its non-ECC, unbuffered design makes it suitable for systems that specifically support this type of DDR5 desktop memory.
Key Features
- 32GB capacity: Provides substantial memory capacity for compatible desktop PCs and workstations.
- DDR5 technology: Designed for computers equipped with compatible DDR5 memory slots.
- 5600MT/s data rate: Offers a rated transfer rate of 5600MT/s, subject to system capabilities.
- 288-pin DIMM form factor: Designed for compatible desktop memory slots rather than laptop SO-DIMM slots.
- Efficient operating specifications: Features CL46 latency, 1.1V operation, dual-rank 2Rx8 configuration, and non-ECC unbuffered memory architecture.
Performance and Compatibility
The Kingston KCP556UD8-32 is intended for desktop systems that support 32GB DDR5 DIMM modules at the required operating specifications. The actual memory speed depends on the processor, motherboard, BIOS, and supported memory configuration. A compatible system may operate the module at a lower speed if required by its hardware specifications.
Before purchasing, check the computer or motherboard manufacturer's documentation for supported DDR5 capacities, memory speeds, module configurations, and compatibility requirements. This is a desktop DIMM module and is not interchangeable with laptop SO-DIMM memory.
