Speed DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600)

CAS Latency CL22

  • 16 GB dual-channel kit boosts multitasking headroom with two 8 GB modules
  • 3200 MT/s DDR4 speed increases bandwidth up to 32 % over prior standard
  • CL22 22-22-22 timings deliver responsive app loading and smooth data flow
  • 2 V operation cuts power draw up to 40 % for cooler, efficient performance
  • Intel XMP 2.0 profile enables one-click BIOS setup for rated frequency

16GB DDR4 3200 Kit

This 16GB kit contains two 8GB unbuffered DDR4 modules rated at 3200 MT/s with CL22 timings. It is built for desktop systems that use 288-pin DIMM slots and runs at the standard 1.20V. The green PCB carries Intel XMP 2.0 profiles for automatic configuration.

DDR4 3200 Interface Limits

The DDR4 standard at 3200 MT/s delivers up to 32% more bandwidth than earlier DDR4 speeds while cutting power draw by up to 40%. If the platform only supports 2933 MT/s or 2666 MT/s the modules will downclock automatically to match the system specification.

Straightforward UDIMM Installation

Installation follows the usual UDIMM procedure: align the notch, press until the retention clips click, and enable the XMP profile in the BIOS to reach 3200 MT/s. Common issues include leaving the profile disabled so the memory runs at a lower default speed, or mixing with kits that have different timing tables.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 16GB (2×8GB) kit or a different capacity?

The 16GB (2×8GB) kit fills two slots for dual-channel bandwidth. If your board has four slots, you can add another identical kit later for 32GB total.

What does 3200 MT/s mean once the modules are installed?

The modules run at up to 3200 MT/s with XMP 2.0 enabled. Without XMP they operate at the board's default JEDEC speed, typically 2666 MT/s or 2933 MT/s.

Does the DDR4 3200 (PC4-25600) interface cap real-world throughput?

PC4-25600 sets the peak theoretical bandwidth. Actual throughput depends on the memory controller, CAS 22 latency, and whether the CPU or chipset limits the data rate below 3200 MT/s.
