8GB DDR4 3200 Desktop Module
This 8 GB DDR4 UDIMM runs at 3200 MT/s with CL22 timings and 1.20 V operation. It is an unbuffered, non-ECC module built for standard desktop platforms that accept 288-pin memory. The Intel XMP 2.0 profile allows the rated speed to be enabled through a single BIOS selection.
Sustained Load Behaviour
The module delivers consistent bandwidth at its rated 3200 MT/s speed without throttling under typical desktop workloads. Operating at the standard 1.20 V keeps power draw low during extended sessions, and the CL22 latency remains stable across continuous read and write cycles. If the platform only supports 2933 MT/s or 2666 MT/s the memory will downclock automatically to match.
Installation and Common Issues
Installation follows the usual 288-pin DIMM slot procedure; align the notch, press until the retention clips click, and enable the XMP profile in BIOS to reach 3200 MT/s. The most frequent issue is leaving the profile disabled, which leaves the module running at the platform default speed instead of its rated frequency.

Questions about this item
Will this module work in a motherboard that only supports 2666 MT/s DDR4?
Yes, the 3200 MT/s module will downclock to 2666 MT/s or 2933 MT/s to match the board's maximum supported speed.
Does the kit require a separate XMP profile to reach 3200 MT/s?
The module includes an Intel XMP 2.0 profile; enable it in the BIOS to run at the rated 3200 MT/s speed.
Is this memory compatible with a laptop SO-DIMM slot?
No, this is a 288-pin UDIMM designed for desktop motherboards and will not fit a laptop SO-DIMM socket.
