Product overview

Released in December 2022, Crucial’s CT16G52C42U5 is a 16 GB DDR5‑5200 desktop UDIMM from the brand’s standard DDR5 family. It adheres to JEDEC timings (CL42 at 1.1 V) on a 288‑pin, non‑ECC module for broad compatibility. Tier: budget — a no‑frills, plug‑and‑play stick meant to deliver stable DDR5 speed without XMP/EXPO tuning. It’s a good fit for budget builds and basic gaming, or for adding capacity to OEM systems that run JEDEC profiles by default. Unique note: SPD‑only (no XMP/EXPO) and sold without a heat spreader, aiding clearance under large air coolers. Discontinuation status is not confirmed.
