16GB DDR4 3000 MT/s CL15 Module

This Ballistix Elite module provides 16GB of DDR4 memory rated at 3000 MT/s with CL15 latency. It uses a 288-pin unbuffered DIMM form factor compatible with standard desktop platforms. The black anodised heat spreader aids thermal management during sustained workloads. It targets enthusiasts and gamers seeking higher bandwidth than standard JEDEC speeds.

Thermals Noise Power

Operating at 1.35V, the module draws modest power for its frequency tier. The integrated heat spreader and onboard thermal sensor, monitored via the Ballistix M.O.D. Utility, help maintain stable temperatures under load. As a passive component it produces no audible noise. The dual-rank design supports efficient burst access without increasing voltage.

Upgrade From Standard DDR4

This kit replaces standard DDR4 modules running at lower speeds such as 2666 MT/s or DDR3 at 1600 MT/s. The jump is worthwhile when applications benefit from the increased 24 GB/s peak bandwidth and tighter 15-16-16 timings. Systems limited to lower memory speeds will not realise the full rated performance.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 288-pin DDR4 DIMM and what step is often missed?

Align the notch on the module with the slot key, press down firmly until both retention clips click, and verify in BIOS that the memory runs at 3000 MT/s with CL15 timing rather than the default 2666 MT/s.

What maintenance or replacement will the black anodized heat spreader need over time?

The spreader is passive and requires no replacement; clean dust from its fins with compressed air every few months to maintain thermal performance for the dual-rank module.

At what point does the 1.35 V voltage limit appear first during sustained heavy workloads?

The module is rated for 1.35 V at 3000 MT/s; pushing voltage above this spec to chase higher frequencies typically triggers instability before temperature becomes the limiting factor.
