Crucial 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR5-4800 Memory Kit Review

Memory by stefan @ 2023-01-22

The 64GB DDR5-4800 memory kit from Crucial does offer good performance and compatibility, while having a bit of headroom in terms of overclocking. High-capacity sticks are often a bit more difficult to overclock, but with this one we were able to do 5200MHz at stock timings, by just raising the operating voltage at 1.25.

Packaging, A Closer Look

Our second Crucial DDR5 memory kit sample is composed from 32GB modules for a total of 64GB, while retaining a stock frequency of 4800MHz, a CAS latency of 40 and an operating voltage of 1.1, all integrated inside a prepared XMP profile. The kit has arrived inside a transparent plastic enclosure, which allows the user to look at how the modules are designed, without opening:

 

 

 

The frontal sticker informs the user on the hardware specifications of the kit, along with the product code name, supported standards but also the serial number:

 

 

 

The modules can be easily removed from the original packaging:

 

 

 

These feature a black PCB, with eight ICs on each side; let’s remember that the 16GB modules were populated on a single side:

 

 

 

In the top middle area, we will find several SMD capacitors:

 

 

 

An inscription on the PCB layer is also observed here:

 

 

 

On each package it is noted the D8BNJ code name:

 

 

 

On the opposite side of the module, we will note the 8 additional ICs, but also an extra sticker:

 

 

 

The PMIC splits the 5V from the motherboard to the different components; this one carries the APW8502C internal code name:

 

 

 

On the mentioned sticker we will find some QR codes, the internal product code name but also the module specs:
