## Summary description

KINGSTON KF552C40BWAK2-16 is a 16 GB kit of desktop DDR5 memory in a 2×8 GB configuration. Modules are 288-pin DIMM with DDR5 technology, 5200 MT/s data rate, CAS latency 40 and ECC support. Operates at 1.25 V and is designed for PC motherboards that accept DDR5 288-pin DIMMs, suitable for workstation or general desktop use requiring error-checking memory.

## Long description

KINGSTON KF552C40BWAK2-16 is a 16 GB kit composed of two 8 GB DDR5 288-pin DIMM modules designed for desktop and workstation motherboards that support DDR5 memory. The modules operate at DDR5-5200 (5200 MT/s) with CAS latency CL40 and include ECC support for error checking. Each module is specified to run at 1.25 V at its tested DDR5-5200 timing and is compatible with JEDEC DDR5 standards. SPD profiles include standard JEDEC timings and support Intel® XMP 3.0 for simplified configuration at rated speeds.
Advantages
The kit provides error-checking capabilities through ECC while maintaining the higher bandwidth and improved power efficiency of DDR5 technology. Operating at 5200 MT/s with validated timings offers a balance between sustained throughput and stable latency. Low operating voltage of 1.25 V reduces power draw compared with higher-voltage generations, and the modules use gold contact fingers for reliable electrical connection. Support for Intel® XMP 3.0 enables straightforward setup of the rated frequency and timings on compatible systems.
Suitable for
Workstation systems that require error-detecting memory for increased data integrity
Desktop PCs needing a 16 GB DDR5 memory upgrade (2×8 GB configuration)
Users who plan to enable XMP profiles to run memory at DDR5-5200 settings
Applications with moderate to heavy multitasking and memory bandwidth demands
Key specifications
Total capacity: 16 GB (2 × 8 GB modules)
Memory type: DDR5 SDRAM, dual in-line memory module (DIMM)
Form factor: 288-pin DIMM
Data rate: DDR5-5200 (5200 MT/s)
CAS latency: CL40 (timings validated at 40-40-40 at 1.25 V)
Operating voltage: 1.25 V (SPD JEDEC profile also programmed for DDR5-4800 at 1.1 V)
ECC: error-correcting capability supported
Compatibility: designed for motherboards that accept DDR5 288-pin DIMMs
Profiles: Intel® Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) 3.0 support
Contact type: gold-plated edge fingers
How to use
Install each 288-pin DIMM into the appropriate DDR5 memory slot on a compatible motherboard, following the motherboard vendor's guidance for matched-slot configurations and dual-channel population. Ensure the system is powered off and disconnected from mains before fitting the modules. After installation, enter the system BIOS/UEFI to verify that both modules are detected and operating at the expected JEDEC or XMP profile. To enable rated DDR5-5200 operation, activate the Intel® XMP 3.0 profile if supported by the motherboard and CPU combination; otherwise, the modules will run at the default JEDEC profile.
Usage recommendations
Use these modules in systems that explicitly list DDR5 support and follow motherboard documentation for memory population order. When enabling XMP profiles, confirm voltage and timing settings are supported by your CPU and motherboard firmware. For workloads requiring maximum data integrity, take advantage of the ECC capability in compatible platforms and run system diagnostics after installation to verify stability.
