Mushkin Redline 16GB (1x16GB) DDR5 4800MHz DIMM 288-pin CL40 XMP - MRE5U480FFFD16G Memory

This Mushkin Redline 16GB DDR5 4800MHz is a single module desktop RAM aimed at mid-range gaming and workstation configurations, where you want a combination of stability, XMP, and visual effect with RGB. You get a 1x16GB DDR5 module with a frequency of 4800MHz, timings of CL40-40-40, and low voltage of 1.1 V. The Redline series is targeted at more demanding users, and here it comes with a Lumina RGB heat spreader in red color. The module is a standard 288-pin UDIMM, for compatible desktop and workstation systems with DDR5.

What you get

With a single 16GB module, you have enough RAM for modern games, multitasking, a browser with many tabs, and heavier applications, while leaving an open slot for a future upgrade to 32GB or more. The frequency of 4800MHz (PC5-38400) and support for XMP profiles allows you to run the memory at the stated speeds with a few clicks in the BIOS, without manually adjusting timings and voltage. The latency of CL40 with timings of 40-40-40 is typical for DDR5 in this class and provides predictable behavior during gaming and work. The available heat sink and Lumina RGB heat spreader ensure the module runs cooler and looks good in cases with a transparent side panel. The RAM is unbuffered, Non-ECC and hand-tested, which is the standard solution for gaming and enthusiast systems.

• 16GB capacity in a 1 x 16GB configuration, giving you enough RAM for modern games and software, plus an easy upgrade later with a second module.
• DDR5 4800MHz (PC5-38400) for higher bandwidth compared to DDR4, suitable for modern CPU platforms and demanding applications.
• Latency CL40 with timings 40-40-40, providing balanced performance and stability in everyday and gaming scenarios.
• Support for XMP profiles, to automatically set frequency, timings, and voltage without manual tuning in the BIOS.
• Lumina RGB heat spreader and red color, combining an effective cooling heat sink with RGB aesthetics, suitable for visible gaming builds.
• Unbuffered / Unregistered, Non-ECC design, optimized for desktop and workstation systems, not for server platforms.
• Low voltage 1.1 V, typical for DDR5, which helps for more efficient operation and lower consumption.
• Hand-Tested modules from the Extreme Performance / Redline series, aimed at users looking for reliability at higher frequencies.
• 99 months warranty, providing long-term security for this RAM module.

Who it is suitable for

This Mushkin Redline module is suitable if you are building a gaming or productive desktop with a DDR5 platform and want a 16GB starting capacity in a single stick, to keep the option for an easy upgrade. It is a good choice for systems with a window, where the RGB and red heat sink will be visible. If you are aiming for maximum high frequencies or more aggressive timings for extreme overclocking, you will likely look towards higher-end DDR5 kits.

The combination of 16GB DDR5 4800MHz, XMP profiles, RGB heat sink, and long warranty makes this Mushkin Redline module a practical and well-balanced choice for a modern gaming or workstation configuration.
