Kingston 16GB DDR4 3200MHz Module

This Kingston KCP432NS8/16 is a single 16GB DDR4 DIMM rated for 3200MHz operation at CL22 latency. It runs at the standard 1.20V and uses the 288-pin unbuffered form factor. The module supports Intel XMP 2.0 profiles for automatic configuration. It is built for desktop systems that accept DDR4 memory.

Desktop Upgrade and Compatibility

This module suits users adding 16GB of capacity to a compatible desktop platform. It works in boards that support DDR4 speeds up to 3200MHz and accept non-ECC unbuffered DIMMs. Systems requiring ECC error correction or registered memory cannot use this stick. Buyers needing lower-voltage or higher-density modules should look elsewhere.

Deciding Specification: 3200MHz DDR4 Speed

The 3200MHz DDR4 rating is the single figure that determines fit. Your motherboard and processor must support this data rate for the module to run at its rated speed. If the platform only validates lower DDR4 speeds the memory will downclock accordingly. Verify the board's qualified vendor list before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the 1.2 V module run noticeably warm or draw extra power during all-day use?

The 1.20 V rating is the standard DDR4 voltage, so power draw and heat stay within normal JEDEC limits for continuous operation.

What motherboard feature must I have for this 288-pin DIMM to work?

A DDR4 memory slot that accepts 288-pin unbuffered non-ECC DIMMs is required; the board must also support 3200 MT/s or be willing to run the stick at a lower JEDEC speed.

Will this CL22 3200 MT/s stick run stably alongside slower DDR4 modules I already own?

The module includes an Intel XMP 2.0 profile for 3200 MT/s CL22; when mixed with slower DDR4 the system will typically drop all sticks to the lowest common JEDEC speed and loosest timings.
