48 GB RAM

All the 48 GB memory here is DDR5, in three forms. The G.Skill Ripjaws S5 48GB DDR5 5200MHz CL40 is a single 48 GB module running at 1.10V. The Corsair Vengeance 48GB (2x24GB) DDR5 5600MHz CL40 (CMK48GX5M2B5600C40) is a two-module kit at 1.25V. The G.Skill Trident Z5 CK RGB 48GB (2x24GB) DDR5 8200MHz CL40-52-52-131 is a high-speed RGB kit at 1.40V. All three carry Intel XMP profiles, and G.Skill and Corsair each cover their modules with a 10 year warranty.

These modules need a DDR5 motherboard and will not fit a DDR4 slot. For a gaming or editing PC, a 2x24GB kit runs in dual channel straight away. The two kits are grouped on the Dual Channel page. The single Ripjaws S5 module suits a build where a second identical stick will be added later, since one stick alone runs in single channel. The 8200 MHz Trident Z5 CK only reaches its rated speed on a board and processor that support it. Check the motherboard's memory support list first. The G.Skill models also have a page of their own.

Frequently asked questions

Is 48 GB better than 32 GB for gaming? Most games run well on 32 GB. 48 GB helps when games run alongside streaming, video editing or large browser and app workloads.

Will these work on an AMD AM5 board? AM5 uses DDR5, so the modules fit. The listings name Intel XMP profiles, so check the board's support list for the speed you want.
