Power your workstation, creator rig, or gaming PC with the Crucial PRO 24GB DDR5 SDRAM Memory Module. Designed for high-demand applications and multi-tasking, this single 24 GB memory module delivers blistering DDR5-6000 speed, low latency, and reliable, unbuffered performance. The 288-pin DIMM form factor fits standard desktop and workstation motherboards that support DDR5 memory, providing a seamless upgrade path for users who crave more memory bandwidth, faster data access, and better overall system responsiveness. Whether you’re tackling CPU-intensive workloads, rendering large scenes, editing high-resolution video, or running multiple virtual machines, this module is engineered to help your system handle heavy workloads with ease.

• exceptionally fast DDR5-6000 speed delivering maximum bandwidth for memory-hungry tasks, improved multitasking, and smoother gameplay. This speed translates to quicker data transfers between the memory, CPU, and GPU, enabling more responsive software performance and shorter load times.
• generous 24 GB capacity provides ample room for large datasets, complex design projects, 3D rendering, video editing, and running several demanding applications simultaneously without frequent paging to disk.
• unbuffered 288-pin DIMM design is ideal for most consumer desktops and professional workstations that require straightforward installation and stable, low-latency performance. The unbuffered (UDIMM) signaling helps minimize latency for real-time tasks and gaming."
• low latency CL48 latency improves data access speed, contributing to snappier applications and more responsive system behavior under load. The combination of high speed with CL48 ensures you get both throughput and quick data retrieval.
• DDR5 architectural advantages including enhanced bandwidth, improved power efficiency, and on-die ECC support that helps protect data integrity. These features collectively enhance system stability during heavy workloads and long rendering sessions while helping reduce overall power consumption compared to previous generations.

How to Install Crucial PRO 24GB DDR5 SDRAM Memory Module

• Before you begin, confirm that your motherboard supports DDR5 memory and 288-pin DIMMs. Check the motherboard manual or the manufacturer's compatibility list to ensure DDR5-6000 is supported and that a 24 GB module fits your system’s memory configuration.
• Power down your computer, unplug it from the wall, and discharge static electricity by touching a grounded metal surface or wearing an anti-static strap. This helps protect delicate memory chips from electrostatic discharge.
• Open the computer case and locate the memory slots on the motherboard. If you’re upgrading from a smaller memory total, remove any existing modules only if you need to reconfigure for best channel balance; otherwise, you can install the new module into an available DIMM slot that matches your motherboard’s recommended population for optimal dual- or multi-channel performance.
• Align the notches on the memory module with the keys in the DIMM slot. The 288-pin DDR5 module has a specific notch position; insert the module straight down into the slot and apply even pressure on both ends until the latches click into place, securing the module.
• Power on the system and enter the BIOS/UEFI to verify that the memory is detected at the expected speed (DDR5-6000) and capacity (24 GB). If necessary, enable XMP/DOCP or memory profile to run at the advertised speed. Save changes and boot into your operating system, then run a memory diagnostic tool to confirm stability and integrity.
• If you are installing multiple memory modules, consult your motherboard’s manual for the recommended slot arrangement to maximize memory bandwidth and stability. Mixing speeds or capacities can cause the system to default to the lowest speed, so pair modules to achieve the best performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Is this memory compatible with DDR4 systems? A: No. This Crucial PRO module is a DDR5 UDIMM designed for motherboards that support DDR5 memory. DDR4 boards will not recognize or run DDR5 modules. Always verify your motherboard’s memory standard before purchasing.
• Q: What performance benefits can I expect from upgrading to 24 GB DDR5-6000? A: You’ll typically see smoother multitasking, faster data access for large datasets, and improvements in memory-intensive tasks like video editing, 3D rendering, and virtualization. In gaming, higher memory capacity helps with texture streaming and large open worlds, especially when you run other applications in the background.
• Q: Can I mix this 24 GB DDR5 module with other DDR5 modules in the same system? A: Yes, you can mix DDR5 modules of different capacities or speeds, but the system will run at the speed of the slowest module and may adjust to the combined configuration. For best performance, use matching modules or follow your motherboard’s recommended guidelines for memory population.
• Q: Does DDR5 memory include any data integrity features? A: DDR5 technology introduces improvements like on-die ECC for reliability, which helps detect and correct certain data errors internally. This contributes to improved stability during heavy workloads and long-running tasks, which is especially beneficial for content creation and workstation use.
• Q: How do I know if I should upgrade to 24 GB or more? A: Consider your workflow. If you typically run many applications at once, work with large datasets, or use virtualization, 24 GB or more can significantly reduce paging to disk and improve performance. For gaming-focused builds, 24 GB helps with modern titles and streaming in the background, though the exact benefit depends on your GPU, CPU, and target resolutions.
• Q: What is the difference between DDR5-6000 and other speeds? A: DDR5-6000 represents a high-speed memory specification offering greater bandwidth than lower DDR5 speeds. Higher speeds translate to more data moved per second, which helps with data-intensive tasks. If your motherboard supports higher speeds, enabling XMP/DOCP will allow the RAM to run at its rated speed.
