Targeted DDR3 Upgrade Kit

This 16 GB kit delivers two 8 GB unbuffered DIMMs rated at 1600 MHz with CL11 timing. It is built for owners of the listed Asus M5A78L variants who need a matched pair that the supplier guarantees will work in those boards. The 1.5 V modules install directly into the 240-pin slots without configuration changes.

Fit Check for Asus M5A78L Owners

The package suits builders restoring or expanding an Asus M5A78L, M5A78L Le or M5A78L Usb3 system that accepts non-ECC DDR3 up to the board's 32 GB limit. It is not for servers or workstations requiring ECC or registered memory, nor for platforms that only support newer DDR generations or SODIMM form factors.

Deciding Spec: 240-Pin DDR3 1600 MHz

The single detail that determines fit is the 240-pin DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) interface. If the motherboard manual specifies a different pin count, voltage or DDR generation, these modules will not seat or function. Match this spec exactly before ordering.

Questions about this item

What bandwidth does the DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 interface deliver?

The DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 standard provides a peak transfer rate of 12,800 MB/s per module.

Will these 240-pin DIMMs fit the four slots on my M5A78L board?

Yes, each stick uses the standard 240-pin DDR3 DIMM form factor that matches the four memory sockets on the M5A78L series.

Do I need to enable XMP in the BIOS for the CL11 1.5V kits to run at 1600 MHz?

No XMP is required; the modules are JEDEC-rated at 1600 MHz CL11 1.5V, so the board will configure them automatically on first boot.
