Crucial CP2K24G56C46U5 48GB (2x 24GB) DDR5-5600 DIMM Desktop Memory Kit

The Crucial CP2K24G56C46U5 is a 48GB desktop memory kit built from two 24GB DDR5 modules, giving DDR5 desktop systems a substantial memory capacity boost in a single matched purchase. The modules run at 5600MHz with a PC5-44800 data rate, so the bandwidth a DDR5 platform was designed for is available for heavy multitasking, large project files, and demanding applications. With a 288-pin DIMM form factor and a 1.1V operating voltage, the pair is sized and powered the way modern desktop platforms expect, and installing the kit fills a matched capacity step without mixing modules of different sizes. For a Crucial memory upgrade at this capacity and speed class, it is a practical pick for creators, gamers, and workstation users who need room to run more at once.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 2x 24GB in the title mean?

This part number is a two-module kit. It includes two matched 24GB DDR5 modules for a combined 48GB of capacity, intended to be installed as a pair.

Can these modules be used in a laptop?

No. They use the 288-pin DIMM form factor designed for desktop memory slots, not the smaller SODIMM form factor used in laptops.

Is this ECC memory?

No. This is non-ECC memory, which is the configuration used by mainstream desktop platforms rather than server platforms that require ECC.

Do I need to install both modules?

The kit is supplied as a matched pair, and DDR5 desktop platforms are designed to take advantage of modules installed in matched sets. Follow your motherboard's slot pairing guidance when installing.

For a DDR5 desktop that needs more memory, the Crucial CP2K24G56C46U5 covers the essentials: a matched 2x 24GB pair for 48GB of total capacity, 5600MHz DDR5 speed at a PC5-44800 data rate, a 288-pin DIMM form factor, and a 1.1V voltage profile in a non-ECC CL46 configuration. It is a straightforward way to expand a system's memory without changing anything else about the build.
