Upgrade your server, workstation, or high-performance PC with Kingston 16GB DDR5 SDRAM Memory Module. Built to deliver dependable data integrity and stability under demanding workloads, this ECC and registered memory solution elevates reliability for virtualization, databases, analytics, CAD rendering, and multimedia processing. Leveraging DDR5-4800 speed (PC5-38400), a generous 16GB capacity, and a compact 1.10V operating voltage, it provides tangible improvements in bandwidth, responsiveness, and energy efficiency over older generations. The 288-pin DIMM format targets servers and enterprise-class motherboards that support DDR5 ECC registered memory, offering a balance of performance, scalability, and resilience for mission-critical applications. Kingston’s reputation for quality and compatibility is reflected in careful engineering, rigorous testing, and a design that emphasizes long-term stability in 24/7 environments. Whether you’re expanding an existing server cluster, provisioning a new data-intensive workstation, or outfitting a high-performance computer for demanding workloads, this Kingston DDR5 module is engineered to help you reach peak productivity with fewer memory-related bottlenecks.

• Unmatched DDR5-4800 bandwidth with optimized efficiency: This 16GB DDR5 module delivers higher data transfer rates and wider memory channels, enabling faster load times, smoother multitasking, and improved performance in memory-heavy applications. Paired with compatible CPUs and motherboards, you’ll notice quicker boot times, faster application launches, and more responsive virtualization and database operations, all while maintaining energy-efficient operation through DDR5’s improved power management.
• ECC and Registered memory for data integrity and system stability: Designed for servers and workstations, the ECC (Error-Correcting Code) feature detects and corrects common memory faults on the fly, while the registered (-buffered) design helps optimize signal quality across multiple memory modules. This combination reduces the risk of memory-induced crashes and minimizes downtime in critical workloads like virtualization, large-scale simulations, and enterprise applications.
• Generous 16GB per module with scalable configurations: A single 16GB module provides ample headroom for database caching, in-memory analytics, and memory-intensive applications. When you deploy multiple modules in a server or workstation, you gain additional memory channels and improved interleaving, which translates to higher aggregate bandwidth and better overall performance in multi-threaded tasks and concurrent user sessions.
• Low power consumption for cooler, quieter, and more cost-effective operation: Operating at 1.10V, this DDR5 module benefits from advanced power management, delivering energy efficiency that’s especially valuable in dense data-center environments. Reduced voltage requirements help lower operating temperatures, extend component life, and contribute to lower total cost of ownership in server rooms and enterprise workstations.
• Reliability, compatibility, and ease of integration with Kingston quality: Kingston memory is designed with reliability in mind and is widely compatible with a broad range of DDR5-enabled servers, workstations, and motherboards that support ECC Registered DIMMs. The module is built to meet strict industry standards, undergoes extensive validation, and is backed by Kingston’s commitment to quality and service, helping you achieve dependable performance in demanding workloads.

How to Install Kingston 16GB DDR5 SDRAM Memory Module

Installation of DDR5 memory modules is straightforward, but for best results follow these steps carefully to ensure proper seating and system compatibility:

• Power down the system completely and unplug from the power source. If you’re working in a shared data center, follow your facility’s electrical safety procedures.
• Discharge any static electricity by touching a grounded metal object or use an anti-static wrist strap to protect sensitive components.
• Open the chassis or memory access panel to expose the memory slots. Identify the correct DDR5 DIMM slots on your motherboard or server board that support ECC registered memory.
• Orient the Kingston 16GB DDR5 SDRAM module so that the notch aligns with the slot key. The 288-pin connector will only fit one way, ensuring proper alignment with the memory channel configuration.
• Insert the module firmly into the slot. Apply even pressure on both ends of the DIMM until the latches click into place and secure the module. Do not rock or force the module, as this can damage the pins.
• Repeat the process if you’re installing multiple modules, following the motherboard’s population guidelines to optimize channel interleaving.
• Close the chassis panel, reconnect power, and boot the system. Enter BIOS/UEFI to confirm that the memory is detected. If required by your platform, enable ECC and registered memory configurations in the memory settings.
• Run a memory diagnostic or stress test after installation to verify stability under load. This is especially important for servers and workstations running virtualization, databases, or other memory-intensive workloads.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Is this memory compatible with my motherboard?
  A: This Kingston memory is DDR5 ECC Registered and uses a 288-pin DIMM format. Verify that your motherboard or server board explicitly supports DDR5 ECC Registered memory and has available DIMM slots. Consult your motherboard’s QVL (Qualified Vendors List) or memory compatibility guide to ensure full compatibility and stability.
• Q: What is the speed and latency?
  A: The module operates at DDR5-4800 with a CAS latency of CL40 at 1.10V. This translates to strong bandwidth and efficient performance for multi-threaded tasks, analytics, and virtualization workloads.
• Q: Can I use this in a consumer desktop?
  A: While some consumer systems may support DDR5 ECC Registered memory, many consumer motherboards do not. This module is primarily intended for servers and workstations that require ECC and registered memory. Always verify motherboard compatibility and support for ECC Registered DIMMs before purchasing.
• Q: Does Kingston offer a warranty on this memory?
  A: Kingston memory products are typically backed by a robust warranty and customer support. Warranty terms can vary by region and retailer, so check the specific warranty details provided at the point of sale for exact coverage and duration.
• Q: How should I scale memory for larger workloads?
  A: For workloads demanding more memory, you can add additional DDR5 ECC Registered modules in matched pairs or groups across memory channels, following your server or workstation’s memory population guidelines to maximize interleaving and bandwidth. Ensure module specifications (speed, ECC, rank) are consistent across installed modules to maintain stability.
