Slow JEDEC Baseline (Not Recommended)
Validated by C.R. Vinoth Kumar · Founder & Senior Editor
This kit runs at loose JEDEC default timings (CL40 or slower). CL40/CL48 speeds indicate lower-binned DRAM chips which create a severe latency bottleneck, reducing CPU frame pacing and game performance by up to 10-15% compared to optimized kits.

Speed Ranking
Top 41%
5600MHz ranks in the top 41% of all DDR5 speeds tracked (1,188 modules).
XMP 3.0 / EXPO Profile Activation Required
This is a high-performance DDR5-5600 memory kit. It will NOT run at advertised speeds out of the box.
JEDEC Fallback Behavior
By default, all motherboards boot using safe **JEDEC standards** (typically **4800MT/s**). If you plug this RAM in and boot immediately, your system will downclock to this baseline, losing up to **10% - 20% CPU bandwidth**.
How to Enable XMP/EXPO
- 1.Reboot PC, tap
DelorF2to enter **BIOS**. - 2.Find memory settings and toggle **XMP / EXPO** to **Enabled**.
- 3.Save & Exit (press
F10). PC will reboot at 5600MHz.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the SK Hynix 16GB (2x8) 5600MHz DDR5 compatible with my motherboard?
This module is compatible with Laptop — DDR5 SO-DIMM. Always verify with your motherboard's QVL (Qualified Vendor List) before purchasing, as compatibility can vary by board revision.
Is this DDR5 module a good deal right now?
At $246.00 ($15.38/GB), this module is priced near the DDR5 market average. Check the price history chart above to see if prices have been trending up or down recently.
What is 5600MHz RAM used for?
DDR5 RAM is required for AMD AM5 (Ryzen 7000/9000) and Intel LGA1851 (Core Ultra 200S) platforms. It offers higher bandwidth than DDR4, making it beneficial for content creation, gaming on modern platforms, and AI workloads. 5600MHz is a good entry-level DDR5 speed with broad platform compatibility.
How does SK Hynix RAM compare to other brands?
SK Hynix has 178 modules tracked with an average customer rating of 4.5★. Browse all SK Hynix modules or use the comparison tool to see how it stacks up against Corsair, G.Skill, Kingston, and Crucial.
Is 16GB of RAM enough for gaming in 2026?
16GB is the minimum recommended for gaming in 2026. Most AAA titles use 12–16GB alongside Discord and a browser. 32GB is the sweet spot if you also stream, record, or run VMs.
What is the difference between a single 16GB stick and a 2×8GB kit?
This is already a 2×8GB dual-channel kit — the correct configuration for maximum performance. Dual-channel mode doubles the memory bandwidth by using both memory channels simultaneously, improving performance in games and applications by 10–30% compared to a single stick of the same total capacity.
