Selection guide & compatibility

• DDR4 vs. DDR5: This memory is for DDR4 only. It is not compatible with DDR5 sockets.
• XMP in BIOS/UEFI: to achieve 3200MT/s/CL16, enable XMP (if supported by motherboard/CPU).
• Dual-channel: If you want balanced performance, prefer a second identical module or a corresponding kit.
• Clearance: check the available space around the CPU cooler, especially in compact cases, due to the 43mm height.
