Overview
The Kingston ValueRAM KVR56U46BS8-16 is a 16GB DDR5 memory module designed for compatible desktop computers and workstations that support unbuffered DDR5 DIMMs. Operating at a rated data transfer rate of 5600MT/s, this module provides additional system memory capacity for supported computing platforms.
Part of Kingston's ValueRAM product family, this module follows standard DDR5 memory specifications and uses a full-size 288-pin desktop DIMM form factor. Its single-module configuration is suitable for compatible systems requiring an individual 16GB memory module.
Memory Performance and Architecture
The module uses a single-rank 1Rx8 configuration based on eight 2G x 8-bit FBGA memory components. Its programmed JEDEC profile specifies DDR5-5600 operation with CL46-45-45 timings at 1.1V.
DDR5 on-die error correction is integrated into the memory devices. This functionality operates within the memory chips and does not provide system-level ECC memory support.
Compatibility
The KVR56U46BS8-16 requires a compatible 288-pin DDR5 UDIMM slot. The motherboard and processor must support the module's capacity, memory generation, and intended operating speed.
- Memory generation: DDR5; incompatible with DDR4 and DDR3 memory slots.
- Form factor: 288-pin DIMM for compatible desktop systems.
- Module type: Unbuffered, non-ECC system memory.
- Capacity: 16GB per module.
- Operating speed: Actual speed depends on the processor, motherboard, firmware, and installed memory configuration.
Key Features
- 16GB memory capacity: Provides additional system memory for compatible desktop computers.
- DDR5-5600 data rate: Supports a rated transfer rate of 5600MT/s.
- Single-rank architecture: Uses a 1Rx8 configuration with eight 2G x 8-bit memory components.
- Unbuffered DIMM design: Intended for compatible desktop platforms supporting unbuffered DDR5 memory.
- JEDEC-standard operation: Uses programmed CL46-45-45 timings at a nominal operating voltage of 1.1V.
Applications
This memory module can be used in compatible desktop computers for office productivity, multitasking, software development, and general computing. It may also suit system upgrades where an additional 16GB DDR5 module is supported by the motherboard and processor.
DC Supplies Product Note
Check the motherboard's memory compatibility list before ordering. This module uses a single-rank 1Rx8 configuration. When adding it to an existing system, verify the supported memory capacity and configuration to avoid compatibility issues. On-die ECC should not be confused with full system-level ECC support.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the Kingston KVR56U46BS8-16 compatible with every DDR5 desktop motherboard?
No. The motherboard must support unbuffered DDR5 DIMMs and the module's capacity and configuration. Check the motherboard manufacturer's compatibility documentation before purchasing.
2. Can this module be installed in a laptop?
No. This module uses the full-size 288-pin desktop DIMM form factor. Laptops with replaceable memory generally require smaller SO-DIMM modules or another platform-specific memory design.
3. Does this module provide system-level ECC?
No. Kingston specifies this model as non-ECC memory. Its on-die ECC functionality is part of the DDR5 architecture and does not replace system-level ECC memory support.
4. Will the module always operate at 5600MT/s?
Not necessarily. Actual operating speed depends on the processor's memory controller, motherboard, firmware, and installed memory configuration. A compatible system may operate the module at a lower supported speed.
5. Can this module be combined with existing desktop memory?
Potentially, provided the motherboard supports the combined capacity and memory configuration. Mixing modules with different capacities, ranks, or specifications may affect supported speeds. Consult the motherboard manufacturer's memory guidance before installation.
