Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is it for desktop or laptop?;

KF560C36BBEAK2-16 is a DDR5 288-pin UDIMM (DIMM) for desktop. For laptops, a DDR5 SO-DIMM (different type) is required.

How do I enable 6000MT/s speed?;

From the BIOS/UEFI, enable the available Intel XMP 3.0 or AMD EXPO profile (depending on motherboard/CPU). If not supported, the memory will operate at the JEDEC settings selected by the platform.

Is it 1×16GB or 2×8GB?;

It is a total of 16GB kit consisting of 2 DIMMs of 8GB (2×8GB).

Is it ECC?;

It is a non-ECC, unbuffered UDIMM. (The on-die ECC feature at the chip level in DDR5 does not equate to ECC DIMM for server/workstation.)

What should I check before buying?;

Confirm that your motherboard supports DDR5 UDIMM and that the platform can run at 6000MT/s with XMP/EXPO. The official Kingston Parts Search page for this part number is also useful.
