Crucial 96GB DDR5-5600 SODIMM Memory Kit Review

 

Specifications

Capacity Kit of 2: 96GB
Speed 5600MT/s
Latencies CL46-45-45
Voltage 1.10V
Operating Temperature 0 °C to 85 °C
Warranty Limited Lifetime

The tested memory kit is rated at DDR5-5600 and uses JEDEC specifications, so we can expect it to be fully compatible but not really tight timings. The memory kit has a SPD profile at CL46-45-45 and 1.10V VDD/VDDQ. It should work on every laptop or desktop motherboard supporting DDR5 SODIMM memory at 48GB per module. If we know there can be a problem with such high capacities, I recommend picking 32GB modules, as they should work with even older BIOS versions of our device.

Our tests were performed on a relatively unusual Minisforum AR900i motherboard, which officially supports up to 64GB DDR5-5600 SODIMM. However, unofficially, it also supports the Crucial 96GB DDR5-5600 SODIMM and even lets us overclock it. Overclocking results will be added to the performance comparison, while now, let’s focus on the declared speed.

The motherboard couldn’t read the SPD profile correctly, which is clearly a BIOS issue. The memory started at DDR5-5200 CL42-42-42, so it was a step lower profile than it was supposed to be. It wasn’t a problem to manually set the x56 ratio and specified main timings.
Below is a list of timings at which the tests were performed:

Below, you can see a stability test on the declared frequency and main timings. There were no problems with stability.

We wish to see tighter timings, but we also understand that the JEDEC profile is fully compatible with all available mobile devices, while too tight timings will cause problems.

We will take a closer look at the package and memory modules on the next page.
