Question 1

If my laptop maxes out at 5200MHZ can I use this ram? Will it run at 5200MHZ or 5600MHZ?

Accepted Answer

It will clock itself down to 5200MT/s.  My laptop maxes out at 5200MT/s and this ram works great at the lower speed while allowing me to transfer it to a new laptop if I get one that supports 5600MT/s.

Question 2

Why DDR5 RAM is so expensive now?

Accepted Answer

DDR5 Memory is pricey due to the surging demand from AI server farms and data centers, which has caused a global memory shortage. This has led memory manufacturers to prioritize more profitable server-grade memory like HBM (high-Bandwidth Memory) over consumer-grade DDR5, drastically reducing supply for consumers while simultaneously causing the prices for both DDR5 and DDR4 to increase.

Question 3

Does this ram support AMD Expo?

Accepted Answer

The product information does not mention support for AMD EXPO.
