Frequently Asked Questions

What motherboards are compatible with this memory?

The G.Skill Aegis 5 16GB requires a DDR5-compatible motherboard. This kit uses AMD EXPO profiles, optimized for AMD AM5 platforms (X870E, X870, X670E, X670, B850, B650 chipsets). While physically compatible with Intel DDR5 boards, the EXPO profile may not activate on Intel — look for Intel XMP variants for Intel platforms. The memory will still work at JEDEC default speeds on any DDR5 board.

Do I need to enable AMD EXPO in BIOS?

Yes. Out of the box, DDR5 memory runs at JEDEC default speed (typically 4800 MT/s). To achieve the rated 5,600 MT/s with CL36-36-36-108 timings, enable AMD EXPO in your motherboard BIOS. This is a one-click setting in the memory overclocking section.

Can I add more memory later?

Yes, the G.Skill Aegis 5 16GB is a single 16GB module. You can add additional compatible DDR5 DIMM modules to populate empty slots. For best performance, use matched modules of the same speed and capacity to enable dual-channel mode.

Does this memory have a heatspreader?

Yes, the G.Skill Aegis 5 16GB features a Aluminum heatspreader. The module height is 31.2 mm.

What warranty does this memory come with?

The G.Skill Aegis 5 16GB comes with a Limited Lifetime warranty from G.Skill.
