Kingston KVR56S46BS8-32

32GB DDR5-5600 unbuffered non-ECC SO-DIMM memory module

By The Nate Meyer ยท Published

The Kingston KVR56S46BS8-32 is a 32GB DDR5-5600 memory module for compatible laptops, mini PCs, workstations, and other compact systems using DDR5 SO-DIMM slots. It uses a 262-pin SO-DIMM form factor and operates at 5600MT/s with a CAS latency of CL46. The module is non-ECC, unbuffered, and configured as 1Rx8 single-rank memory. It runs at 1.1V and follows standard DDR5 specifications for broad platform compatibility. Before installation, confirm that the system supports 32GB modules, DDR5-5600 memory, and the required total memory capacity. Systems may reduce the operating speed according to their processor and firmware limits.

Key Takeaways
  • 32GB single-rank DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM for compatible laptops and compact systems.

  • Uses a 262-pin form factor, 1.1V operation, and CL46 timing.

  • Non-ECC unbuffered memory; system support for module capacity must be confirmed before purchase.

Which systems support the Kingston KVR56S46BS8-32?

It is designed for DDR5-compatible laptops, mini PCs, and compact systems with 262-pin SO-DIMM slots. Confirm the system's supported module capacity and memory speed before installation.

Will this module operate at 5600MT/s in every system?

No. The system processor, chipset, BIOS or UEFI firmware, and installed memory configuration determine the actual operating speed. A compatible system may run the module at a lower supported speed.

Is the KVR56S46BS8-32 ECC or registered memory?

No. This is non-ECC, unbuffered SO-DIMM memory intended for client and compact computing platforms rather than registered server memory systems.

Can this module be mixed with another DDR5 SO-DIMM?

Mixed modules may function when capacity, voltage, rank organization, and platform support are compatible, but the system may use the slowest common settings. Matched modules are preferred for predictable operation.

Does the module require a firmware update?

No module-specific driver is required. A BIOS or UEFI update may be needed when a laptop or compact system has limitations recognizing higher-capacity DDR5 modules.

What is the difference between this module and DDR4 SO-DIMM memory?

DDR5 SO-DIMM uses a different electrical design, notch position, and signaling standard than DDR4 SO-DIMM. It cannot be installed in a DDR4 memory slot.
