TridentX DDR3 2400 dual-channel kit

This 8 GB kit contains two 4 GB DDR3 modules rated for 2400 MT/s at CL10-12-12-31 and 1.65 V. It is built for enthusiasts targeting high-performance or gaming systems on 3rd generation Intel Core platforms such as the Core i7-3770K and Core i5-3570K. Intel XMP 1.3 profiles simplify configuration on compatible Z77 motherboards.

Removable fin heat-spreader

Each module carries the TridentX aluminium heat-spreader with a detachable top fin that increases surface area for airflow. The fin can be removed to lower module height and clear large CPU coolers or custom liquid loops. This flexibility suits both air-cooled and water-cooled builds without changing the memory itself.

World-record heritage and XMP 1.3

The TridentX line set a DDR3 frequency world record of 4404 MT/s in 2012, demonstrating the IC headroom behind these modules. XMP 1.3 support lets the kit load its rated 2400 MT/s timings with a single BIOS selection, removing manual tuning for most users. No additional software or accessories are bundled beyond the two DIMMs.

Questions about this item

What does the DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) rating mean for real-world bandwidth?

The kit runs at 2400 MT/s with CL10 10-12-12-31 timings at 1.65V, delivering a peak transfer rate of 19200 MB/s when XMP 1.3 is enabled on a Z77 platform.

Will the removable heat-spreader fins clear a large CPU cooler?

The top fins unscrew, lowering the module height so it fits under oversized tower coolers; with fins installed the spreader adds surface area for airflow.

How do I get the rated 2400 MT/s instead of the default JEDEC speed?

Enable the Intel XMP 1.3 profile in the BIOS after installing both modules in the primary dual-channel slots; the board will then apply the 1.65V, CL10 10-12-12-31 settings automatically.
