Overview
The Kingston ValueRAM KVR56S46BD8-32 is a 32GB DDR5 memory module designed for compatible laptops, notebooks, and compact computing systems that support 262-pin DDR5 SO-DIMM memory. Operating at a rated data transfer speed of 5600MT/s, this module provides additional memory capacity for supported systems.
Part of Kingston's ValueRAM product family, this module follows industry-standard memory specifications and uses an unbuffered design. Its single-module configuration makes it suitable for compatible systems requiring a 32GB memory upgrade.
Memory Performance and Architecture
The module operates at DDR5-5600 with a CAS latency of CL46 and standard timings of 46-45-45 at 1.1V. Its dual-rank 2Rx8 organization uses sixteen 2G x 8-bit memory components.
DDR5 on-die error correction is integrated into the memory architecture. However, this is a non-ECC system memory module, so on-die ECC should not be confused with full system-level ECC memory support.
Compatibility
The KVR56S46BD8-32 requires a compatible 262-pin DDR5 SO-DIMM memory slot. It is intended for systems that support DDR5-5600 memory and the module's 32GB capacity.
- Memory generation: DDR5 only; it is not interchangeable with DDR4 or DDR3 modules.
- Form factor: 262-pin SO-DIMM for compatible compact systems.
- Memory type: Unbuffered, non-ECC system memory.
- Capacity support: The host system must support 32GB SO-DIMM modules.
- Operating speed: The actual memory speed depends on the processor, system firmware, and platform specifications.
Key Features
- 32GB capacity: Provides a single 32GB memory module for supported systems.
- DDR5-5600 performance: Supports a rated data transfer speed of 5600MT/s.
- 262-pin SO-DIMM format: Designed for compatible laptops and compact computing systems.
- Dual-rank architecture: Uses a 2Rx8 memory organization.
- Low-voltage operation: Uses a nominal memory supply voltage of 1.1V.
Applications
This module is suitable for compatible laptop and compact-computer memory upgrades, including systems used for office productivity, multitasking, software development, and other memory-intensive applications. The suitability of a 32GB module depends on the host system's supported memory capacity and configuration.
DC Supplies Product Note
Check the exact memory specification before ordering. The 262-pin DDR5 SO-DIMM format is different from desktop DDR5 UDIMM memory. Also, the presence of on-die ECC does not make this module a system-level ECC memory solution. For business workstations or systems requiring full ECC support, verify the manufacturer's memory requirements before selecting this part.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the Kingston KVR56S46BD8-32 compatible with every DDR5 laptop?
No. The laptop must support 262-pin DDR5 SO-DIMM memory and the module's 32GB capacity. Check the laptop manufacturer's specifications for supported memory configurations and maximum capacity.
2. Can this module be installed in a desktop computer?
It is designed for SO-DIMM slots, which are commonly found in laptops and compact computers. Standard desktop DDR5 motherboards generally use full-size UDIMM modules, which have a different physical form factor.
3. Does this memory support ECC?
The module incorporates on-die ECC as part of DDR5 memory technology, but Kingston identifies it as non-ECC system memory. It should not be selected as a substitute for a module requiring full system-level ECC functionality.
4. Will the module always operate at 5600MT/s?
Not necessarily. The rated speed depends on support from the processor, motherboard or system board, and firmware. A compatible system may operate the module at a lower speed according to its memory specifications.
5. Can this 32GB module be combined with existing memory?
Potentially, provided the system supports the combined capacity and the existing memory is compatible. Mixing modules with different capacities or specifications may affect supported operating speeds and memory configurations. Consult the system manufacturer's upgrade guidance before installation.
