G.Skill Aegis 5 16GB 5200MHz DDR5 Desktop Ram

This module brings next-generation DDR5 performance to your desktop system, offering a 16 GB single-stick capacity combined with a tested frequency of 5200 MHz (PC5-41600) and CAS latency around CL40 (depending on variant) for strong value and effectiveness in gaming rigs or general-purpose PCs. It supports both Intel’s XMP 3.0 and AMD’s EXPO profiles, making it straightforward to enable higher speeds through BIOS without manually tuning every parameter. Internally, it uses hand-selected ICs that G-Skill validates across major motherboard brands to ensure compatibility and stability, which reduces the risk of BIOS quirks or oddball behaviour when paired with a mainstream DDR5-capable platform. Mechanically it comes as a 288-pin unbuffered DDR5 DIMM, with no built-in RGB lighting or high-profile heatsink gimmicks — instead it opts for a clean, efficient design that fits more easily into tighter PC builds. The 5200 MHz speed gives a tangible bandwidth uplift over entry-level DDR5 (like 4800 MT/s) and showcases how the Aegis 5 line aims to serve users who want a straightforward performance-boosting upgrade rather than extreme overclocking. The fact that it's a 1×16 GB module also gives you flexibility to add a second matching stick later and run dual-channel, making it a good stepping-stone for future expansion.
