Crucial 32GB DDR5 4800MHz CL40 Memory (1x32GB)
A single 32GB Crucial DDR5-4800 module for 12th generation Intel and newer desktop platforms.
Crucial’s classic DDR5 module is the straightforward way to put a large amount of memory into a modern desktop. This 32GB stick runs at the DDR5-4800 JEDEC base speed that every DDR5 platform supports natively, so there is no profile to enable and no compatibility guesswork. It suits workstations, content-creation systems and business desktops that need memory capacity for large datasets, virtual machines or heavy multitasking rather than the last few percent of gaming performance.
Performance
DDR5-4800 offered 50% more bandwidth than DDR4-3200 at launch, and Crucial’s design splits each module into two independent 32-bit sub-channels for better efficiency. The module is dual rank (2Rx8), which on most platforms gives a small performance advantage over single-rank sticks of the same speed. At CL40 the timings are the JEDEC standard for this speed grade.
Reliability and efficiency
DDR5 moves voltage regulation onto the module with a power management IC (PMIC), giving cleaner power and better signalling, and the module operates at only 1.1V. On-die ECC corrects single-bit errors inside the memory chips for long-term stability. As Micron’s consumer brand, Crucial builds and tests the module in-house and backs it with a limited lifetime warranty.
Compatibility
The module fits any desktop board with DDR5 slots, including Intel 600, 700 and 800 series and AMD AM5 boards. Fitting a second matching module later enables dual-channel operation and 64GB in total. Punch can fit it in a new DDR5 build.
Ideal for
- Workstations and creator PCs that need 32GB or more
- Business desktops running virtual machines or large spreadsheets
- Any DDR5 build where plug-and-play JEDEC memory is preferred
