Speed DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500)

  • 16 GB dual-channel kit expands multitasking headroom
  • 1066 MHz DDR3 speed keeps data flowing smoothly
  • CL7 timing reduces latency for snappier response
  • 5 V operation matches standard desktop requirements
  • 240-pin DIMM form factor fits compatible DDR3 motherboards

What this kit adds

This A-Tech kit supplies 16 GB of DDR3 memory in a matched pair of 8 GB modules. It is intended for desktop systems that accept 240-pin unbuffered DIMMs running at 1.5 V.

Check your board first

Confirm that your motherboard supports DDR3 at 1066 MHz and can operate at 1.5 V. Verify that two free 240-pin slots are available for dual-channel installation. Consult the system manual for any population rules or maximum per-slot limits before ordering.

Heat noise and power

The modules run at the standard 1.5 V DDR3 voltage and carry no heat spreaders, so they rely on normal case airflow. At the rated 1066 MHz speed with CL7 timings, power draw remains modest and the memory operates silently. Adequate chassis ventilation is sufficient for typical desktop workloads.

Questions about this item

What does the 16GB kit include and is anything else needed for installation?

The kit contains two 8 GB DDR3 DIMM modules; no extra parts are required beyond a desktop motherboard with free 240-pin slots.

Should I choose the PC3-8500 1066 MHz version or a faster DDR3 speed?

Select this PC3-8500 1066 MHz kit if your system specifies DDR3 1066 or PC3-8500; faster DDR3 modules will down-clock to 1066 MHz anyway.

What does the 1066 MHz rating mean once the RAM is installed in my computer?

The memory will run at 1066 MHz with CL7 timing at 1.5 V, giving the bandwidth and latency the motherboard expects for DDR3 1066 operation.
