  • DDR3 1600 speed rated at PC3 12800 for reliable throughput
  • 240-pin DDR3 form factor fits compatible server motherboards

16GB DDR3 1600 ECC kit

This 16GB kit contains two 8GB unbuffered DDR3 modules running at 1600 MT/s with ECC error correction. It uses the 240-pin form factor and is built for server and workstation motherboards that accept unbuffered ECC memory.

Suited for DDR3 servers needing ECC

The kit fits systems that require unbuffered ECC DDR3 at the PC3 12800 speed grade. It is not for platforms that only support registered or load-reduced modules, nor for boards limited to non-ECC consumer memory.

16GB capacity for entry server workloads

The 16GB total provides headroom for light virtualization, file serving or database tasks on compatible DDR3 platforms. Larger datasets or heavy multi-VM deployments will exceed this capacity and require higher-density modules or more slots.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need 240-pin DDR3 slots to use this 16 GB kit?

Yes, the modules are 240-pin DDR3 SDRAM running at 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800), so the board must provide DDR3 DIMM sockets.

Will these ECC unbuffered DIMMs work in a system that currently uses non-ECC DDR3 1600 memory?

The kit is ECC unbuffered; it requires a platform that supports ECC. A standard desktop board without ECC support will not recognise the error-correction function.

How can I verify the kit is running at DDR3 1600 after installation?

Check the memory speed in BIOS or a tool such as CPU-Z; it should report 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) for each 8 GB module.
