Value DDR3 8 GB Module

This G.SKILL Value module delivers 8 GB of DDR3 memory at 1600 MHz with CL11 timings and 1.50 V operation. It uses a standard 240-pin unbuffered design without ECC and carries Intel XMP profiles for first, second and third generation Core platforms. The stick is rated for 12.8 GB/s bandwidth and 11-11-11-28 latency figures.

Upgraders with LGA1155, LGA1156, AM3.

The kit suits owners of older desktops that natively support DDR3 1600 on the listed Intel and AMD sockets. It is not for builders whose motherboards require registered or ECC memory. It is also not for systems that only accept newer DDR generations.

Single 8 GB Stick at DDR3 1600 CL11

The decisive specification is the single 8 GB density combined with DDR3 1600 CL11 at 1.50 V. If the board has one free 240-pin slot and supports this speed and voltage, the module will add 8 GB of capacity; if the platform needs higher density per slot, lower voltage or a different DDR generation, this part will not fit the requirement.

Questions about this item

What does the 1600 MHz rating mean for real-world bandwidth?

The module runs at DDR3 1600 and delivers up to 12.8 GBps of memory bandwidth in a desktop system.

How does the PC3 12800 designation limit performance?

PC3 12800 caps the theoretical peak transfer rate at 12.8 GBps, so the module cannot exceed that bandwidth ceiling.

Will the 240-pin stick fit my motherboard's DIMM slots?

The 240-pin DDR3 form factor fits standard desktop DIMM slots that accept unbuffered, non-ECC memory at 1.5 V.
