Ares Series DDR3 2400 Kit

This G.SKILL Ares Series kit delivers 16 GB of DDR3 memory in two 8 GB modules running at 2400 MT/s with CL11 11-13-13-31 timings at 1.65 V. The low-profile heat spreader measures 3.2 cm tall and is finished in blue.

Ideal for older Intel Core builds

The dual-channel kit suits 3rd and 4th Generation Intel Core platforms that support DDR3 2400 and Intel XMP 1.3. Systems requiring ECC, registered modules, or a different DDR generation should choose another product.

Straightforward desktop install

Insert the 240-pin DIMMs into the motherboard slots and enable the XMP profile in the BIOS to reach rated speed. The low profile avoids clearance issues with large CPU coolers, while the 1.65 V requirement must be supported by the platform.

Questions about this item

Does this kit need a motherboard with 240-pin DDR3 slots to work?

Yes, the modules are 240-pin DDR3 DIMMs and require a motherboard with matching DDR3 slots.

Will the 3.2 cm low-profile heat spreader clear a large tower cooler I already own?

At 3.2 cm tall the Ares spreader is designed to fit under oversized CPU coolers and in small-form-factor cases.

How can I confirm the kit is running at DDR3 2400 CL11 after I install it?

Enable Intel XMP 1.3 in the BIOS; the firmware will then set 2400 MT/s with 11-13-13-31 timings at 1.65 V.
