Dual-channel DDR3L kit

This Crucial CT2KIT51264BD160B kit provides 8 GB of desktop memory as two matched 4 GB modules. It runs at DDR3L 1600 with a CAS latency of 11 and operates at the lower 1.35 V voltage. The unbuffered, non-ECC DIMMs use Micron chips and are intended for high-performance or gaming systems.

240-pin UDIMM installation

Each module is a standard 240-pin UDIMM that fits desktop DDR3 sockets supporting the 1.35 V DDR3L standard. The dual-channel pair frees the remaining memory slots for future expansion up to the motherboard limit. No heat spreader is fitted, so clearance under large CPU coolers is maximised.

Retail packaging included

The retail box contains only the two memory modules and standard documentation. No additional software, cables or mounting hardware are bundled. The green PCB and gold contacts are the only visible components.

Questions about this item

Does the 1.35 V DDR3L voltage limit headroom when the system runs all day?

The modules are rated at 1.35 V, the standard DDR3L voltage, so they operate within normal power limits for continuous desktop use.

How loud or hot do the sticks get without a heat spreader during extended sessions?

Unbuffered DDR3L at 1.35 V runs cool and silent; no spreader is fitted and none is required for typical desktop workloads.

My motherboard only has DDR3 slots — will this 240-pin kit fit and run at 1600 MT/s?

Yes, the 240-pin UDIMM form factor matches standard DDR3 desktop slots and the kit is rated for 1600 MT/s (PC3L-12800) at CL11.
