- Features
- Buffered or Registered: Unbuffered (Registered (buffered) memory modules are classified by the addition of a register between the memory controller and DRAM modules. When compared to conventional unbuffered (unregistered) memory, this type provides more stability with less electrical load on the controller, making it a common choice for use in robust applications, such as servers.)
- Data Integrity Check: Non-ECC (Error-correcting code (ECC) memory helps to maintain data integrity within a computer system, protecting it from potential crashes as well as losses or changes to data due to undetected errors. Systems that use ECC have an additional chip on the RAM that acts as the error check.)

A must buy DDR5 Ram Kit
When the ram prices skyrocketed I was very upset since I was in the middle of building a new pc, I was getting a B650 eagle ax, 850w psu, msi 5080, ryzen 7 9800x3d, and obviously with all this I absolutely needed at least 32g of ram. I was very happy when I walked into Best Buy and was lucky enough to find this crucial ddr5 32g kit for under $300. It works amazing I am very proud to be able to own some crucial ram since they unfortunately ended their consumer market so this is more of a novelty because there won’t be any more. 100% must buy!

Excellent. Performs as it should!
Excellent RAM. Performs as advertised after changing some settings in the BIOS. I do work with Micron, so that was my motivation for buying. They are joined to an Aorus X870 motherboard with a 9800X3D and a Gigabyte RX 9070XT. If you’re like me and don’t care about the flashy lights, this will be great!
