Crucial 16GB DDR5 5600 Desktop
16GB · DDR5-5600
About this kit
A single 16GB desktop module at JEDEC speed. The usual reason to buy one stick rather than a kit is to pair it with one you already have, and Crucial's standard line is the safest bet for that, since it runs at the platform default with no profile to reconcile. As a lone module it runs single-channel. As an upgrade to a prebuilt that shipped with one stick, it is exactly the right part.
