Crucial Pro 64GB DDR5 RAM Kit (2x32GB), 5600MHz (or 5200MHz or 4800MHz) Desktop Memory UDIMM 288-pin, Compatible with 13th Gen Intel Core and AMD Ryzen 7000 - CP2K32G56C46U5

Compatibility: Alienware Aurora owners know these systems are hard to upgrade unless you buy expensive components from Dell. I bought my Aurora R16, Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF GeForce 5070, in June 2025 with 16GB ram thinking this makes a great gaming machine. Well, on Amazon I found a good deal on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 premium deluxe version so I grabbed one. I found that to run at the highest specs I needed 64GB. I know I know, shoulda checked before buyinig the R16 but MSFS 24 wasn't on my list of games then. Looking at memory upgrades from Dell, 32GB costs $375.99 for 1 stick or $751.98 for a full 64GB, R16 only has two sockets on the motherboard. Browsing the web I found a comment that said Crucial had compatible memory. BTW, the Aurora R16 has DDR5-5600 at 1.1 volts. I could find plenty of memory at 1.35 volts but not 1.1. Also, I didn't see anything in bios that allows me to change the voltage, remember this is an Aurora. Well, Crucial has a System Checker on their website. I downloaded and ran the app which lists components compatible with my Aurora R16. Note, Crucials System Selector page seems to be out of date. On the System Selector page the R16 lists the 14th gen Intel Core 7 chip not the Core Ultra 7 200 chips so I recommend downloading and runnng System Checker app instead. This 64GB (2 x 32GB) kit CP2K32G56C46U5 was one of a handful of memory upgrades listed. I just wanted to report back that it does work on the Aurora R16 so owners have an alternative to Dell for memory upgrades. I did verify this by running MemTest86 after the swap and no I have not enabled the overclocking settings in bio and have not tested either OVCL1 or OVCL2. MemTest86 shows it running at 5186 MT/s (46-45-45-90). BTW I paid $139.99 for Crucial's 64GB kit vs $751.98 for Dell memory. I hope this helps other Aurora R16 owners. July 15, 2025 Updated info I just read the Amazon generated summary of customer reviews for this product. As of July 25 2025 it says "the MHz performance receives mixed reviews, with some customers reporting it runs at 5200 MHz while others achieve 5600 MHz as advertised." I didn't think that was quite fair to Crucial. in my original review I stated in my testing with the default motherboard settings MemTest86 showed it running at 5168 MT/s which is exactly the same as the factory installed 16GB memory. I did say I had not tried the overclocking settings of the Aurora R16. Well, I just wanted to report back that I have now tried overclocking, specifically the OVCL1 settiing in bios. Using OVCL1 the memory description reported by bios shows the Crucial memory as 5600 and the Performance section of the Alienware Command Center reports the frequency as 5587 MHz. So as far as I'm concerned this memory kit performs as advertised at 5600 MHz. I highly recommend this product and I hope this comment corrects the generated customer review summary. Lastly, for those who might be interested, MemTest86 is a freebie utility to surprise, test the ram memory of your computer. This is a great tool for anyone upgrading their memory or who thinks they may be experiencing a problem with ram. You can download it from Passmark Software. Once downloaded you create a boot thumbdrive and run the test from there. Note, there is also a paid version but I've only needed the freebie version, not entirely sure what you get with the paid version though. Just Google or DuckDuckGo MemTest86 Passmark and you'll find it along with instructions on creating the usb boot drive. FYI, Passmark also does a CPU benchmark. The data about cpus is listed on their site and is available for free. The cpu benchmark will give you a good idea of relative performance of each cpu. Just think of it as the amount of horsepower for your cpu. While not the absolute measure of performance it will give you a good idea of relative performance of one cpu versus another. I used it when choosing my Aurora. Again, not an absolute measure of performance since disk I/O, GPU, network and other factors also influence your system.

I got this product back in early 2025 when it was 130 dollars. I cannot deny, I got Hella lucky. Very fast and reliable and perfect tasks other than gaming. I got two of this for the same price by the way.

After 13 years, I got a new desktop computer. I splurged and maxed out my RAM immediately. I decided to go with the Crucial Pro over the Corsair Vengeance mainly because I lucked out on a very cheap price during a small window of time during Black Friday, and because Crucial's website gave me the clear specifications I needed to know to make the appropriate decision. The only difference between the Pro and the regular version of this is the additional heatsink. Installation was easy as pie. Slide and snap the memory right into your motherboard. At boot up, your computer will (generally) alert you that your RAM amount has changed and will ask you to confirm that. Once my computer started up, I checked my system and it detected the correct amount at 64GB at my system's top 4800MT/s speed. I've been using it now for a month and have had no issues. My computer works great and I can do a lot (a lot) of things without any slowdown. Recommended.

Rock solid. Wish I bought more when it was $160 vs today's scalpers bs.

I recently built a new PC with ASUS Z790-P mobo. Installed 128 GB of CRUCIAL PRO DDR5 (4x32). Purchased 2 64GB kits. Cheaper than one 128 kit. Go figure. WIN 10 PRO clean install from CD. Booted up instantly, recognized all ram, and is blazing fast. Runs cool under normal loads. My flight sim programs love it. Highest resolution and extreme frame rates. I started sweating trying to keep up. Excellent low cost DDR5. Highly recommended.

Glad I bought this when I did, with prices going through the roof for RAM. I've been using this for a month and have had no issues with it. It was easy to install. The quality has also been great. I would recommend this product to anyone who needs this specific type of brand.

Great RAM kit to provide high speed and ample room for space-comsuming apps.

I added 64Gb to the existing 16Gb even though this is not a "supported" (ie tested) configuration. When installing in a Dell and adding to existing modules, be aware that you may need to install the sticks side by side instead of the usual alternating pattern. Otherwise you computer may not even boot. It may not be necessary, but I also took out and reinserted the coin battery for the BIOS. When installed correctly, the computer will boot but will wait awhile until it figures out there's a new memory configuration. It will then shut down and reboot at which time you'll see a message from the BIOS and you can click "Continue." I actually removed all sticks and installed one Crucial stick in the slot closest to the CPU and did the coin battery reset. It worked and then I added the other sticks like in the photo. I'm guessing you could get away with installing it like the pic all at once. Also don't go into the BIOS afterward and reset it to default settings after all the sticks are installed and everything is working. When I did that the computer failed to boot. I wonder if the default setting is a hard coded memory configuration of what was in the computer from the factory (ie 16Gb not installed side by side). I learned afterwards that for my Intel CPU when utilizing all four DIMM slots, the maximum speed is 3600 MHz (see screenshot). Also the benchmark I had run was lower after the install. And so I read that adding memory can cause a decrease in "performance." Some say this is only in artificial benchmarks. A few months back, I had bought the Corsair but I couldn't figure out how to install it and their customer support didn't know so I sent it back. I remember telling Corsair the exact motherboard model as well. I figured I'd try another brand. When it didn't work at first, I got lucky by finding a community support post. Also other posts mention that Crucial brand memory is "most compatible" with Dell's Both companies sites said their memory was compatible with my system.

Product was as described & Delivered faster than expected, great.

super RAM, funktioniert klasse und superschnell

Dell XPS computer seemed to be slowing dow. I acquired this 2 chip set to upgrade to 64 Gb of RAM. Installation was easy. No problem on startup and the speed difference is notaceable. A worthwhile upgrade.

Paired with Asus Prime B760M-A and 12600KF, endless random blue screen. Considering to return.

約1年使ったのでレビュー ここまで特に問題なしで安全運転。 重たいadobe製品を使ったり、 Vtuber配信とかした過負荷でも大丈夫で、 とてもいい製品だけど、自分が買ったのは去年（2024年）の11月末でこれが23000円。 つまりこの今の平気で35000円とかする時代に買うものじゃないので値下がりとかあってからで十分。
