8GB DDR3 1600 module for desktop upgrades

This Kingston ValueRAM stick delivers 8GB of DDR3 memory at 1600 MT/s with CL11 timings. It is an unbuffered, non-ECC DIMM built to JEDEC 1.5V specifications for standard desktop systems.

Check motherboard DDR3 slot count

Verify that your board accepts 240-pin DDR3 DIMMs and supports 1600 MT/s operation at 1.5V. Ensure enough free slots exist for the desired total capacity and that the BIOS can run JEDEC-standard timings of 11-11-11.

Runs at standard voltage with no heat spreader

The module operates at 1.5V within the 1.425V to 1.575V JEDEC range, drawing minimal power in normal use. Without a heat spreader it relies on case airflow; PCB height is 18.75mm so it fits most standard DIMM slots.

Questions about this item

Will this 8 GB DDR3 1600 module fit a standard desktop DIMM slot?

Yes, it uses the 240-pin DDR3 form factor that matches ordinary desktop memory slots.

Does the module require a motherboard that can supply 1.5 V?

It operates at the JEDEC standard 1.5 V with a supported range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V.

Can I add this stick alongside existing CL9 memory?

The module runs at CL11 by default but supports programmable CAS latencies down to CL6, so the system will typically negotiate a common speed and timing.
