FAQ
What is the capacity and technology of this memory module?
This Kingston ValueRAM module has a 16GB capacity and uses DDR5 SDRAM technology. DDR5 represents the fifth generation of double data rate synchronous dynamic random-access memory, offering improved bandwidth and power efficiency compared to previous DDR4 modules.
What speed and latency does this DDR5 memory operate at?
The module operates at 5600MHz with a CAS latency of CL46. The 5600MHz speed indicates the data transfer rate, while CL46 represents the column address strobe latency, which is the delay between when a memory controller requests data and when it becomes available.
Is this memory ECC or non-ECC, and what does that mean?
This is a non-ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory module. Non-ECC memory does not include error correction capabilities, which makes it suitable for mainstream consumer and business notebook applications where the additional cost and complexity of ECC are not required.
What form factor and pin count does this module have?
This module uses the SODIMM (Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module) form factor with 262 pins. SODIMM is the standard form factor for notebook and small form factor systems, with 262 pins specifically designed for DDR5 SODIMM modules to ensure proper physical and electrical compatibility.
Which notebook models is this memory compatible with?
This module has verified compatibility with specific ASUS VivoBook Pro 16X OLED models, Gigabyte AORUS 15X and 17X (2023) notebooks, and MSI Creator Z16/Z17 HX Studio and Raider GE68/GE78 HX models. Always verify compatibility with your specific notebook model before purchase.
