Ripjaws X 8GB DDR3 1600 module

This 8GB DDR3 1600 DIMM uses a 240-pin desktop form factor and runs at PC3-12800 speed with CL10 10-10-10-30 timings. It is built for Intel LGA1155, LGA1156 and AMD AM3, Llano, AM3+ platforms and includes Intel XMP profiles for 1st, 2nd and 3rd Generation Intel Core processors. The red heat spreader is fitted as standard.

Check motherboard DDR3 slots and voltage

Verify that your board accepts DDR3 memory and has a free 240-pin slot before ordering. The module operates at 1.50V, so the motherboard must support that voltage. Confirm the maximum capacity per slot and total system limit in the board manual. No ECC or registered buffer is present on this stick.

Heat spreader sustains 1600 speed under load

The integrated heat spreader dissipates heat during extended sessions, helping the module hold its rated 1600MHz frequency and CL10 timings without throttling. Continuous operation at 1.50V keeps internal temperatures lower than higher-voltage kits. Each unit is 100% tested for stability under sustained workloads.

Questions about this item

Will this 8 GB DDR3 1600 module work in my Intel LGA 1155 motherboard?

Yes, the kit is validated for Intel LGA 1155 and LGA 1156 platforms as well as AMD AM3, AM3+ and Llano sockets.

Does the 1.50 V operating voltage match standard desktop DDR3 requirements?

It runs at the standard 1.50 V, so no special voltage settings are needed on any compatible board.

What does the CL10 10-10-10-30 timing mean for real-world responsiveness?

The CAS latency of 10 cycles at 1600 MHz gives low access delay, helping applications and games feel snappier.
