Kingston KVR56S46BS8-16
16GB DDR5-5600 memory module for compatible notebooks and small systems
By The Nate Meyer ยท Published
The Kingston KVR56S46BS8-16 is a 16GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM for compatible notebook computers, compact systems, and other platforms using standard DDR5 laptop memory. It operates at 5600 MT/s with a CAS latency of CL46 and uses a 262-pin small-outline form factor. The module is built as a single-rank, x8 organization and uses unbuffered, non-ECC DDR5 SDRAM at 1.1V. It is intended for systems that support DDR5 SO-DIMMs and may operate at a lower speed when required by the host platform. Confirm the system's memory type, maximum module capacity, and supported speed before installation.

16GB DDR5-5600 capacity in a 262-pin SO-DIMM form factor.
Non-ECC, unbuffered, single-rank memory operating at 1.1V.
Requires a compatible system with DDR5 SO-DIMM support.
Which systems support the Kingston KVR56S46BS8-16?
It is compatible with systems that provide 262-pin DDR5 SO-DIMM slots and support a 16GB DDR5 memory module. Check the system or motherboard documentation for supported capacity and memory speed.
Can this module be installed in a DDR4 system?
No. DDR5 SO-DIMMs use a different electrical specification and keying position from DDR4 modules and are not interchangeable.
Will the module operate at 5600 MT/s in every system?
No. The host system's processor and firmware determine the supported memory speed. A platform with a lower supported speed may run the module at that lower rate.
Can this module be mixed with another memory module?
It can be mixed only when the system supports the combined capacity and module configuration. Mixed modules commonly operate at the speed and timings supported by the slowest installed module.
Does this SO-DIMM require special drivers?
No. System memory does not require an operating system driver. The system firmware detects the module during startup.
