Desktop DDR5 memory G.SKILL Flare X5 F5-5600J3636C8GH2-FX5 16 GB (2×8 GB) 5600 MT/s 288-pin DIMM CAS 36

G.SKILL Flare X5 F5-5600J3636C8GH2-FX5 is a 16 GB (2×8 GB) DDR5 desktop memory kit designed for AMD AM5 platforms that support DDR5. The modules run at 5600 MT/s with CAS latency 36 and use the 288‑pin DIMM form factor. The low-profile design (33 mm height) and matte finish make this kit suitable for compact PC builds and systems with large CPU coolers. Note: not compatible with platforms or systems using Intel® Core™ Ultra 100/200 processors or Intel® 800 series chipsets.

Advantages

Flare X5 modules are manufactured from hand-screened DDR5 DRAM ICs and validated through G.SKILL’s testing process to ensure consistent quality. The kit includes AMD EXPO overclocking profiles for one-step memory overclocking via BIOS on compatible motherboards. Available in matte black or matte white, the modules offer a minimal low-profile aesthetic that fits a variety of build themes and provides clearance for large CPU coolers.

Suitable for

• Compact desktop builds where low module height is required
• AMD AM5 systems that support DDR5 memory and EXPO profiles
• Gaming, content creation and general multitasking requiring higher memory bandwidth

Key specifications

• Total capacity: 16 GB (2 × 8 GB)
• Memory type: DDR5
• Rated speed: 5600 MT/s
• CAS latency: 36
• Form factor: 288‑pin DIMM
• Operating voltages: 1.2 V and 1.1 V
• Height: 33 mm (low-profile)
• Overclocking support: AMD EXPO profiles (and XMP 3.0 compatibility)

How to use

Install the modules into the motherboard’s DDR5 DIMM slots following the motherboard manual and standard anti-static precautions. For AMD systems that support EXPO, enable the included EXPO profile in the BIOS to apply the rated 5600 MT/s settings. If the motherboard does not support EXPO, configure memory settings manually or use the BIOS memory tuning options. Ensure the system BIOS is updated to a version that supports DDR5 and EXPO on your AMD AM5 motherboard.

Recommendations

Use this DDR5 kit in AMD AM5 platforms that explicitly support DDR5 memory and AMD EXPO. Avoid using it on systems with Intel® Core™ Ultra 100/200 processors or Intel® 800 series chipsets, as it is not compatible with those platforms.
