  • Rated speedDDR3 1600
  • CAS latencyCL9
  • Rated voltage1.5 V
  • Buffer typeUnbuffered
  • Kit configurationDual Channel Kit
  • Plug-and-play design enables faster speeds without BIOS changes
  • 8 GB dual-channel kit boosts multitasking headroom for daily workloads

  • CL9 latency at 1.5 V balances quick access with standard voltage
  • Tested to JEDEC DDR3-1600 9-9-9 timings for reliable compatibility

Plug-and-Play DDR3 1600 Kit

This HyperX Plug-and-Play kit delivers 8 GB across two unbuffered DDR3 modules rated at 1600 MT/s with CL9 latency at 1.5 V. It is designed to boost responsiveness in Sandy Bridge era desktops or DIY builds without requiring manual BIOS changes. The dual-channel configuration installs straight from the package and runs at its rated speed automatically on supported Intel platforms.

Suited for legacy DDR3 upgrades.

Builders refreshing a Generation 2 Core i5 or i7 system on P67 or Z68 chipsets will benefit from the preset PnP profile and JEDEC 9-9-9 timings. It is not for users who require ECC error correction or registered modules for server-grade stability. Systems limited to lower DDR3 speeds will still run the kit, but without the Plug-and-Play automatic configuration advantage.

Dual-channel 2 × 4 GB DDR3-1600 CL9 at 1.5 V

The decisive specification is the 8 GB dual-channel kit composed of two 4 GB DDR3 modules operating at 1600 MT/s with CL9 timings at 1.5 V. This exact combination of density, speed, latency and voltage determines whether the memory matches the motherboard’s qualified vendor list and delivers the advertised plug-and-play experience on compatible Sandy Bridge platforms.

Questions about this item

My motherboard has only two DDR3 slots — will this 2 x 4 GB kit fill them both?

Yes, the kit contains two 4 GB modules for a total of 8 GB, so it occupies both slots on a dual-channel board.

Will the Plug-and-Play profile activate on an older DDR3 board that does not support the preset speed?

The memory is backwards compatible; on boards that cannot apply the Plug-and-Play profile it will still operate at standard JEDEC DDR3-1600 timings of 9-9-9 at 1.5 V.

How can I confirm the kit is running at its rated 1600 MT/s with CL9 latency after installation?

Check the memory tab in CPU-Z or the BIOS memory information screen — both should report DDR3-1600 frequency and 9-9-9 timings at 1.50 V.
