16GB Crucial Pro Overclocking Edition module - DIMM 288-PIN 6400 MHz / PC5-51200 - CL38 - 1.35 V - unbuffered - non-ECC

CRUCIAL Pro CP16G64C38U5W is a 16 GB DDR5 internal memory module in a single 288-pin DIMM configuration designed for desktop PCs. It operates at an effective rate of 6400 MT/s with CAS latency 38 and nominal voltage options that include 1.35 V. The module is intended to expand system RAM, improve multitasking and responsiveness, and support memory‑intensive applications and workloads while offering compatibility with modern multi‑core processors and mainstream overclocking profiles.

Advantages

This DDR5 memory module provides high bandwidth and increased data throughput at 6400 MT/s, enabling faster application load times and improved performance in multitasking scenarios. With CAS latency 38 and support for 1.35 V operation, the module balances speed and power efficiency for desktop systems. Compatibility with Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO allows easy activation of tested performance profiles, and Micron/Crucial component-level testing targets reliability and consistent behavior under typical consumer workloads.

Suitable for

• Upgrading desktop PCs to increase available RAM and reduce swapping
• Gaming systems running memory‑intensive titles and AAA games
• Content creation workstations for photo and video editing workflows
• Multitasking and productivity systems that run many applications simultaneously
• Builds that require compatibility with Intel XMP 3.0 or AMD EXPO performance profiles

Key specifications

How to use

Power down the desktop and disconnect power before installing the module. Open the system case, locate an empty 288‑pin DIMM slot on the motherboard, and align the module with the slot notch. Insert the memory module evenly until the latches click into place. Reconnect power and boot the system; enter BIOS/UEFI to verify recognition and, if desired, enable XMP or EXPO profiles to apply the tested performance settings. Follow the motherboard manufacturer’s guidance on dual‑channel population and maximum supported capacity.

Recommendations

Install memory modules in matched pairs for optimal dual‑channel performance where supported. Ensure your motherboard BIOS/UEFI is updated to the latest stable version to improve compatibility with high‑speed DDR5 modules and profile support. For stable overclocking, monitor system temperatures and run memory diagnostics after enabling XMP or EXPO profiles.
