Memory Kingston FURY IMPACT 16GB SODIMM DDR5 5600MHz CL40 - KF556S40IB-16

This Kingston FURY IMPACT 16GB SODIMM DDR5 5600MHz CL40 is laptop RAM memory aimed at mid-range and more serious gaming or productivity configurations. You get a single module of 16GB DDR5, which is suitable for upgrading from the basic 8GB as well as for expanding to more meaningful 16/32GB configurations. The frequency of 5600MHz and latency of CL40 provide a good balance between speed and stability. The SODIMM form factor and compatibility with “Laptop” mean that it is aimed at modern mobile platforms with DDR5.

What you get

With 16GB of RAM, you can comfortably run several heavy applications simultaneously – a browser with many tabs, IDE, Discord, plus a less demanding game, without the laptop starting to swap aggressively to the SSD. The DDR5 standard at 5600MHz offers higher bandwidth compared to DDR4 solutions, which helps in gaming, video editing, and large photos. The lack of a heatsink is not an issue in a laptop chassis – the module operates at 1.1 V, which is energy efficient and helps keep temperatures lower and battery life better. The single module 1 x 16GB is convenient if you have a free second slot and plan to add another 16GB later for dual channel.

• The memory is DDR5 SODIMM, making it compatible with modern laptops that support the new generation of RAM.
• The capacity of 16GB is the sweet spot for gaming, work, and multitasking, without the system choking.
• A frequency of 5600MHz provides high bandwidth, useful for newer CPUs and heavier applications.
• Latency of CL40 is typical for DDR5 laptop modules and offers a good compromise between speed and stability.
• Operating voltage of 1.1 V helps reduce consumption and heat – important for thin and light laptops.
• The module is 1 x 16GB, giving you flexibility to combine with a second module later for dual channel.
• The warranty of 99 months provides long-term peace of mind for this component.

Who it is suitable for

This RAM is suitable if you want to upgrade a DDR5 laptop – gaming, photo/video work, programming, or just heavy multitasking. It is a good choice both for upgrading from 8GB to 16GB and as a first step towards future 32GB (with a second module). It is not suitable if your laptop only supports DDR4 or has soldered memory without a free SODIMM slot.

The combination of DDR5 5600MHz, 16GB capacity, and low voltage in SODIMM form factor makes this module a very meaningful upgrade for a modern laptop, without unnecessary extras like RGB and heatsinks that you won’t see in a closed chassis.
