Kit Composition

This G.SKILL Sniper Gaming Series kit provides 16GB of DDR3 memory across four 4GB modules. It is built for desktop systems that accept quad-channel DDR3 kits and benefit from the tighter 9-11-10-28 timings at DDR3 2133 speed.

Platform Fit

The modules are validated for Intel LGA1155 and AMD Llano or AM3+ platforms and include Intel XMP profiles for second and third generation Intel Core processors. Builders targeting newer sockets or chipsets that require a different memory generation cannot use this kit.

Deciding Spec

The operating voltage is 1.65V, which is higher than the standard DDR3 voltage; the motherboard and CPU memory controller must support this level for stable operation at the rated DDR3 2133 frequency.

Questions about this item

Will this quad-channel kit work in a dual-channel motherboard?

The kit contains four 4 GB modules. You can install them in a dual-channel board, but the memory controller will run them in dual-channel mode instead of quad-channel.

Does the 1.65 V operating voltage require a specific CPU or chipset?

The modules are rated at 1.65 V. Compatibility depends on the memory controller of your processor and motherboard; check the platform specifications before purchase.

What BIOS setting enables the rated 2133 speed and CL9 timings?

Enable the Intel XMP profile in the BIOS. The kit includes an XMP profile for DDR3 2133 at 9-11-10-28 timings.
