Product Features
Technical Overview
This Crucial Pro Overclocking memory kit implements DDR5 SDRAM architecture, which doubles the burst length and bank groups compared to previous generations, resulting in higher bandwidth and improved efficiency. The 6400MHz clock speed translates to a data rate of 6400 MT/s, with a corresponding PC5-51200 designation that indicates peak theoretical bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s per module.
The memory modules operate at 1.35V, balancing performance with power efficiency. The Non-ECC (Error-Correcting Code) design means these modules do not include additional circuitry for detecting and correcting memory errors, which is typical for consumer and gaming-oriented systems rather than mission-critical servers. The Unbuffered signal processing ensures direct communication between the memory controller and DRAM chips without intermediate registers, reducing latency for responsive system performance.
Key Product Advantages
The Crucial Pro Overclocking memory provides a balanced combination of capacity, speed, and compatibility for desktop users seeking to upgrade their system performance. The 32GB total capacity (via two 16GB modules) offers ample headroom for multitasking, content creation, and modern gaming titles that benefit from substantial memory resources.

FAQ
What is the total memory capacity of this Crucial Pro Overclocking kit?
This memory kit provides 32GB of total capacity, achieved through two 16GB DDR5 SDRAM modules. The dual-module configuration enables installation in matching motherboard slots for dual-channel operation, which can improve memory bandwidth compared to single-module setups. This capacity suits gaming systems, content creation workstations, and multitasking environments where 32GB provides headroom for modern applications.
What speed does this DDR5 memory operate at?
The Crucial Pro Overclocking memory operates at 6400MHz, which corresponds to a data transfer rate of 6400 million transfers per second. This speed is specified as DDR5-6400 under JEDEC standards, with a PC5-51200 designation indicating theoretical peak bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s per module. The 6400MHz frequency represents a significant increase over typical DDR4 speeds, contributing to faster application loading, smoother gameplay, and improved system responsiveness.
Is this memory ECC or Non-ECC?
This memory uses Non-ECC (Error-Correcting Code) design, meaning it does not include additional circuitry to detect and correct memory errors. Non-ECC memory is standard for consumer desktop systems, gaming PCs, and general-purpose workstations where extreme data integrity is less critical than in server environments. The Unbuffered signal processing further distinguishes this as consumer-oriented memory rather than registered/buffered server memory.
What form factor and pin count does this memory use?
This memory uses the DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) form factor with 288 pins. The 288-pin DIMM is the standard physical interface for DDR5 desktop memory, replacing the 284-pin DIMM used for DDR4. This form factor fits standard desktop motherboard memory slots and is not compatible with laptop SODIMM slots or server RDIMM/LRDIMM configurations. Always verify your motherboard supports DDR5 DIMMs before purchasing.
