What this kit delivers

The Crucial CT2K51264BD160BJ is an 8GB kit consisting of two 4GB DDR3L desktop modules rated at 1600 MT/s with CL11 latency. It targets users upgrading older DDR3 platforms or building budget systems that need a reliable dual-channel memory configuration.

Capacity and headroom for everyday workloads

Eight gigabytes handles mainstream office applications, web browsing and light content creation without paging. Demanding modern games, heavy video editing or virtualisation will exceed this capacity and require a larger kit or a platform that supports higher-density modules.

Thermals, noise and power draw in normal use

The modules run at a low 1.35V or standard 1.5V dual-voltage setting, keeping power consumption modest and heat output minimal. With no onboard LEDs or active cooling, operation is completely silent and places little demand on case airflow.

Questions about this item

Will this kit fit a motherboard with four DDR3 slots?

The kit contains two 240-pin DDR3L DIMMs, so it occupies two slots and leaves two free on a four-slot board.

Does the dual-voltage rating mean I can mix these with existing 1.5 V modules?

Yes, the modules run at 1.35 V or 1.5 V and will match standard 1.5 V DDR3 memory when the system sets the higher voltage.

What bandwidth does each module provide at the rated speed?

At 1600 MT/s the kit delivers up to 12.8 GB/s per channel, which is the PC3L 12800 specification.
