16GB Dual Channel Kit

This Crucial CT2K102464BD160B kit provides 16GB of desktop memory across two 8GB modules. It runs at DDR3L 1600 speed with a CAS latency of 11 and timings of 11-11-11. The unbuffered DIMMs operate at 1.35V and use a 240-pin interface. Micron chipset components are used throughout.

Suits DDR3L 1600 Upgrades

This memory suits systems that specifically require DDR3L 1600 unbuffered non-ECC DIMMs at 1.35V. Builders needing ECC error correction, registered modules, higher speeds, or different voltage standards should look at other options. The green PCBs have no heat spreaders or LED lighting.

1.35V DDR3L Voltage

The defining specification is the 1.35V DDR3L operating voltage combined with the 1600 speed rating. A system must support this exact voltage and DDR3L standard for the kit to function correctly. Standard 1.5V DDR3 slots may not guarantee compatibility.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 16GB dual-channel kit or a single 8GB module for my upgrade?

The 16GB kit contains two matched 8GB modules designed for dual-channel operation, which doubles the memory bandwidth compared with a single stick.

What does the DDR3L 1600 rating mean for everyday performance?

The memory runs at 1600 MT/s with CL11 timing at 1.35V, so applications and multitasking see the full rated speed when the board supports it.

Will the 240-pin DDR3L interface work in a standard DDR3 slot?

The modules use the 240-pin DDR3 form factor and operate at the lower 1.35V DDR3L voltage; they fit physically but the motherboard must support DDR3L to run at the rated speed.
