Bull Creek Technologies 32GB DDR5 PC5-5200 CL42 1.1V SODIMM
Experience faster responsiveness and more capable multitasking with Bull Creek Technologies 32GB DDR5 PC5-5200 CL42 1.1V SODIMM. This high-performance laptop memory module is engineered for modern systems that demand speed, efficiency, and reliability in a compact form factor. As DDR5 technology ushers in higher bandwidth and improved efficiency over previous generations, this 32GB SODIMM enables richer workflows—from heavy multitasking and 4K video editing to immersive gaming on laptop rigs and compact workstations. With a 1.1V operating voltage, it’s optimized for power-conscious designs, delivering cooler operation and extended battery life without sacrificing performance. The module is TAA certified, reflecting strict supply-chain standards and quality control, making it a trusted choice for professionals and enthusiasts alike who upgrade laptops, ultra-thin notebooks, and small-form-factor PCs.
- High-speed performance: DDR5 PC5-5200 memory delivers up to 5200 MT/s transfer rates, enabling faster data access, snappier system response, quicker application launches, and smoother gameplay. The increased bandwidth helps heavy applications—such as large-scale photo and video editing, 3D rendering previews, and virtualization—perform more fluidly, reducing waiting times and boosting productivity across demanding tasks.
- Generous capacity for modern workloads: 32GB of memory capacity is ideal for running multiple applications simultaneously, hosting virtual machines, editing high-resolution media, and maintaining immersive gaming sessions without frequent swaps to disk. This size minimizes bottlenecks when working with large datasets, complex spreadsheets, or resource-intensive design software, while still fitting within most laptop thermal envelopes.
- Low voltage efficiency: Operating at 1.1V, this DDR5 module emphasizes power efficiency and thermal management. Lower voltage translates to reduced heat output and improved battery life in portable devices, enabling longer sessions between charges. This makes it a strong upgrade for ultrabooks and compact workstations where thermal headroom is limited and energy efficiency matters as much as peak performance.
- Reliable timing and stability: The CL42 latency specification provides a dependable balance between speed and stability, ensuring responsive performance under real-world workloads. The memory is designed for consistent operation across bursts of activity, keeping system timing predictable during multitasking, data-intensive tasks, and gaming sessions where timing precision supports smoother frame rates and snappier input responses.
- Quality, compatibility, and certification: TAA-compliant Bull Creek Technologies memory is built to meet rigorous standards for build quality and traceability. This certification supports professional deployments and a broad range of consumer systems that rely on dependable memory upgrades, giving users confidence that the module will install cleanly and perform as advertised.

How to install Bull Creek Technologies 32GB DDR5 PC5-5200 CL42 1.1V SODIMM
- Power down the device completely and disconnect from all power sources; if possible, remove the battery to minimize any residual power.
- Ground yourself to discharge static electricity by touching a metal object or using an anti-static wrist strap; avoid touching the memory module’s gold contacts or circuitry.
- Access the memory compartment according to your device’s service manual—this typically involves removing the bottom panel or keyboard fascia to reveal the RAM slots.
- If replacing an existing module, gently release the retaining clips on either side of the slot to free the old module. If adding alongside an existing module, ensure the slot is free and the existing module is seated properly before inserting new memory.
- Align the new 32GB DDR5 SODIMM with the slot’s notch, insert at a slight angle, and press down firmly and evenly until the module seats and the clips click into place.
- Reassemble the device, reconnect power, and boot into the operating system; most systems automatically recognize the new memory, while some may require BIOS/UEFI checks.
- Enter BIOS/UEFI if needed and verify that the full 32GB is detected; enable any memory profiles (XMP/DOCP) if your platform supports them to run at the rated PC5-5200 speed.
- In the operating system, confirm the total installed memory is shown correctly in the System settings or Task Manager; run a short memory test or benchmarking tool to confirm stability and performance.
Frequently asked questions
-
Q: Is this a single 32GB module or a kit?
A: The product title describes a single 32GB DDR5 SODIMM module. When planning upgrades, verify your device’s per-slot capacity and whether a second module is required to achieve a dual-channel configuration and maximum performance.
-
Q: Will this memory work in laptops that only support DDR4 or lower speeds?
A: No. This module is designed for DDR5-enabled devices that support PC5-5200 speeds and SODIMM form factor. Check your device’s specifications to ensure DDR5 compatibility before upgrading.
-
Q: Do I need to update BIOS or enable any profiles for optimum speed?
A: Many systems auto-detect the new memory, but some platforms benefit from enabling a memory profile in BIOS/UEFI (such as XMP or DOCP) to run at the rated speed. If your device supports these profiles, enabling them can unlock the full 5200 MT/s bandwidth.
-
Q: Is there a warranty or return policy for memory upgrades?
A: Warranty and returns depend on the retailer and regional policies. Bull Creek Technologies memory typically carries a warranty through the vendor; check the specific terms at the point of purchase for details on coverage, duration, and return options.
-
Q: Will this memory reduce battery life or increase heat in a laptop?
A: DDR5 memory with a 1.1V operating voltage is designed to be power-efficient. While performance-intensive tasks can raise overall power consumption, most users will experience improved efficiency when the system is under load, potentially extending battery life during light usage and reducing thermal stress under heavy multitasking.
