Memory RAM APACER NOX DDR5 16GB (1x16GB) 5200MHz CL40 1.25V Black

APACER NOX DDR5 16GB (1x16GB) is a single-module desktop memory designed for motherboards that support DDR5. The module operates at an effective frequency of 5200 MHz with CAS latency CL40 and a nominal operating voltage of 1.25V. This DIMM provides 16 GB of system RAM capacity intended to improve multitasking, responsiveness, and overall performance in general computing and gaming systems when used as an upgrade or replacement module.

Advantages

The memory module offers a balance of capacity and frequency suitable for modern desktop workloads, combining 16 GB of RAM with DDR5 data rate for increased bandwidth compared with DDR4. Lower operating voltage helps reduce power consumption while maintaining stable operation at 5200 MHz. The single-module format allows easy installation and incremental upgrades without replacing existing compatible modules.

Suitable for

• Upgrading desktop systems to increase available RAM for multitasking
• Home and office computers used for web browsing, document editing, and media playback
• Gaming systems where a single 16 GB DIMM complements existing memory or forms part of a new build
• Workstations running light to moderate content-creation and productivity applications

Key specifications

• Memory type: DDR5
• Capacity: 16 GB (single module)
• Effective frequency: 5200 MHz
• CAS latency: CL40
• Operating voltage: 1.25 V
• Form factor: 288-pin DIMM for desktop motherboards

How to use

Install the module into an available compatible DDR5 DIMM slot on the desktop motherboard, aligning the notch and applying even pressure until the retention clips engage. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before installation. After physical installation, enter the system BIOS/UEFI to verify that the module is detected and operating at the intended frequency and voltage; enable appropriate XMP/EXPO or manual settings if required by the motherboard to run at 5200 MHz. For multi-module configurations, consult the motherboard manual for recommended slot population and dual- or quad-channel arrangements.

Usage recommendations

Use this 16 GB DDR5 module together with compatible DDR5 modules of similar specifications for best stability and performance. Check motherboard support for DDR5 frequencies and memory ranks, and update BIOS/UEFI to the latest manufacturer release to ensure compatibility. When combining modules, matching capacity, frequency, and timings is recommended to avoid suboptimal operation.
