Capacity and fit

This kit provides 16GB of desktop memory as two 8GB modules. It uses the DDR3L standard and fits 240-pin DIMM slots. The green PCBs have no heat spreader, keeping the profile low for tight spaces.

Voltage and signal

Each module runs at 1.35V, lower than standard DDR3, which reduces power draw and heat. The unbuffered, non-ECC design with 11-11-11 timing at CL11 suits mainstream desktop boards that support DDR3L 1600.

Thermals and power

Operating at 1.35V keeps typical power consumption modest and module temperatures low during everyday workloads. Without a heat spreader, airflow from case fans passes directly over the chips for effective passive cooling.

Questions about this item

What does the PC3L 12800 rating on this DDR3L 1600 kit mean for real-world throughput?

The PC3L 12800 label confirms a 1600 MHz data rate at 1.35 V with CL11 timing; actual throughput depends on the platform's memory controller and how many channels it populates.

Will the 240-pin DIMMs measuring 5.3 inches long by 1.2 inches high fit my motherboard slots?

Standard desktop DDR3L DIMMs use the 240-pin layout and those dimensions; check your board manual for slot clearance near large CPU coolers.

How do I install the two 8 GB modules, and what is the common mistake?

Power off, open the case, align each module's notch with the slot key, press down until both retention clips click; the frequent error is seating only one side.
