  • Elegant, origami-inspired aluminum heat spreader to complement a variety of gaming rigs
  • Higher frame rates4 for serious 1080p and 1440p resolution gaming on memory-intensive titles like Rainbow Six® Siege, Forza™ Horizon 4, Horizon Zero Dawn™, Cyberpunk 2077®, Hogwarts Legacy™, Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered or Forespoken™
  • Universal compatibility with DDR5-based Intel Core 12th to 14th Gen desktop CPUs and AMD Ryzen 7000 to 8000G Series desktop CPUs

Additionally, Crucial has fine-tuned all XMP 3.0 and EXPO memory profiles to maximize CPU compatibility without compromising overclocking stability and performance. Activating one of these pre-tuned profiles is necessary to overclocking the CPU and memory and is the easiest way to achieve maximum performance. 

Crucial’s fastest Gen5 SSD just got faster. 

The T705 SSD is available in capacities up to 4TB and features a premium black aluminum and copper heatsink that dissipates heat without noisy fans or liquid cooling, takes full advantage of Microsoft® DirectStorage and is backward compatible with Gen3 and Gen4 motherboards. A non-heatsink version is also available for use with a motherboard heatsink. For a limited time while global supplies last, a 2TB Crucial T705 Gen5 SSD with an exclusive white heatsink is also available and was meticulously designed to meet the aesthetic preferences of enthusiasts and gamers, harmonizing perfectly with white motherboards and PC components. 

The Crucial T705 Gen5 SSD also provides: 

  • Faster gameplay and reduced game load times than Gen4 SSDs with Microsoft DirectStorage
  • Compatibility with Intel® Core 13th and 14th Gen CPUs and AMD Ryzen™ 7000 CPUs

The Crucial DDR5 Pro Overclocking DRAM will be available in 16GB densities on February 27, 2024, and 24GB densities later in 2024. All Crucial Pro memory modules have a limited lifetime warranty. Crucial T705 SSDs, including the limited-edition 2TB white heatsink version, are available to pre-order now on www.crucial.com/T705 and will be available on March 12, 2024 through select etailers, retailers and global channel partners.
