Dissipate module heat and enhance your gaming rig with a sleek, modern look.
With our integrated low-profile heat spreader, Crucial DDR5 Pro can even fit in smaller PCs.
No-fuss memory for gaming rigs
1.88x faster than DDR45 to boost in-game frame rates and eliminate screen tears. Enhance your gaming rigs with our sleek design without the fuss of chasing B/E-die, LEDs or the risks associated with overclocking speeds and tuning latency.
Improved productivity for creatives and professionals
With 2x the bandwidth6 of the previous generation, Crucial DDR5 Pro enables next-level multitasking and faster processing so you can tackle even heavy workloads in less time.
Supports Intel® XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO™ on the same module
Achieve easy performance recovery on CPUs that suppress rated memory speeds with Intel® XMP 3.0 or AMD EXPO2 turned on in the UEFI/BIOS settings. Get the full value of your investment without overpaying for performance.
Micron quality and reliability
As one of only three global memory manufacturers, and with 45 years of memory expertise, Micron delivers cutting-edge engineering and superior component and module-level testing for all Crucial DRAM products.
- Only DDR5-enabled CPUs/motherboards support DDR5 memory. Not compatible with DDR4 motherboards.
- Crucial DDR5 desktop memory modules (UDIMMs) can reach rated speeds with Intel XMP 3.0 or AMD EXPOTM turned on in the UEFI/BIOS settings. Applicable for all Crucial DDR5 desktop memory (UDIMM) modules except Crucial DDR5-4800 desktop memory, which supports only Intel® XMP 3.0. Based on published competitor specs for DDR5 memory as of August 2023. Altering clock frequency or voltage beyond advertised speeds and timing (overclocking) may result in damage to computer components and will void your Crucial warranty. Micron disclaims any and all liability for such damage.
- DDR5 speeds are comparable to extreme-performance DDR4 memory speeds and, at 4,800MT/s, at least 1.5x faster than maximum standard DDR4 speeds of 3,200MT/s.
- Crucial DDR5 Pro Memory modules (UDIMMs) can only be installed in desktops/workstations built to support DDR5 DRAM, such as 12th and 13th Gen Intel® Core™ and AMD RyzenTM 7000 Series desktop processors.
- DDR5 data rate of 6,000MT/s transfers 1.88x the DDR4 data rate of 3,200MT/s.
- Under memory-intensive workloads, DDR5 can deliver up to 2x the bandwidth, per an internal simulation of dual ranked x8 modules in client platforms.
