Compatible Intel Mainboards

This 16 GB kit contains two 8 GB DDR3 DIMMs validated for Intel Dx58So2, Dz68Bc, Dz68Db and Dz68Zv mainboards. The modules run at 1333 MHz with CL9 timing at the standard 1.5 V. Buyers whose systems require ECC or registered memory cannot use this kit.

Thermals and Power Draw

Unbuffered DDR3 modules at 1.5 V draw modest power and operate without a heat spreader. In normal desktop workloads the sticks stay cool with standard case airflow and produce no audible noise.

Bundled Contents

The package supplies two 240-pin DIMMs so the maximum 32 GB capacity across four sockets can be reached with a second identical kit. No software, cables or additional accessories are included.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 240-pin DDR3 modules on an Intel DZ68BC motherboard, and which slot order avoids the common mistake?

Power off and unplug the system, open the case, align each module's notch with the slot key, press firmly until both side clips click, then populate the blue slots first for dual-channel operation on the DZ68BC.

What maintenance will the 1.5V unbuffered DIMMs need over their lifetime?

No routine maintenance is required; keep the interior dust-free with compressed air and reseat the modules only if the system fails to POST after a move or hardware change.

At what point does the CL9 1333MHz rating become the limiting factor during sustained workloads?

The CL9 1333MHz specification caps sustained memory bandwidth, so throughput plateaus at the PC3-10600 data rate once the CPU saturates both channels.
