Crucial 8GB DDR5 5200 MHz SO-DIMM Laptop Memory Module

The Crucial CT8G52C42S5 is an 8GB memory module that follows the DDR5 standard and runs at 5200 MHz in a SO-DIMM form factor. By upgrading to this module, a compatible laptop gains quicker start-up times, shorter application launches, and smoother multitasking even when several demanding programs run at once.

Students who keep research tabs open all day, professionals who work in large spreadsheets or creative suites, and casual gamers who like a responsive system will all notice the extra headroom that this module provides. The higher bandwidth of DDR5 moves data more efficiently, so tasks such as photo editing, light video work, and code compiling finish sooner and feel more fluid.

The 262-pin unbuffered design fits modern notebooks and small form factor PCs that support DDR5. With a 1.1 V operating voltage and on-module voltage regulation, the memory uses power more efficiently and helps the system run cooler, which can extend battery life during long sessions away from a charger. On-die error correction maintains signal integrity inside the chip for long term stability, while the CL42 latency keeps throughput balanced against speed.

Installation is straightforward: power down the laptop, open the memory access panel, seat the module, and power back up. Most systems recognize the upgrade automatically, so there is no need to tweak settings in firmware. For users who already have an 8GB stick installed, adding this module creates a dual-channel pair that unlocks additional bandwidth with minimal cost.

Highlights:

• 8GB DDR5 5200 MHz capacity and speed
• 262-pin SO-DIMM design for modern laptops
• CL42 latency, unbuffered architecture
• Non-ECC memory that includes on-die error correction
• 1.1 V operating voltage for improved efficiency
• Boosts multitasking, load times, and overall responsiveness
• Simple, tool-assisted installation in most notebook models
