Capacity and purpose

This 2 GB DDR3 module runs at 1600 MHz with CL11 latency and 1.50 V operation. It targets desktop owners who need a modest capacity increase for everyday tasks on older platforms that only accept DDR3 memory.

Sustained-load behaviour

Rated operating temperature reaches 85 °C and the module draws up to 1.170 W under load. Timing parameters such as tRASmin 36 ns and tRFCmin 260 ns remain within specification during continuous operation, so stability is maintained in demanding environments.

Pre-order checks

Verify that your motherboard supports DDR3 unbuffered non-ECC DIMMs at 1.50 V and has a free 240-pin slot. The stick measures 2.17 x 6.7 x 0.52 inches, so confirm clearance around the CPU cooler before ordering.

Questions about this item

How much power does the KVR16N11S6/2 draw when running at full load all day?

The module has a maximum operating power of 1.170W, so heat output stays low during continuous use.

Does this DDR3 1600 stick need a motherboard slot that accepts 1.50V unbuffered memory?

Yes, it requires a standard DDR3 DIMM slot that supports 1.50V unbuffered non-ECC modules.

Will the CL11 timing on this 2GB module work alongside older CL9 DDR3 sticks I already have?

The system will run all installed modules at the slowest common timing, so CL11 memory will operate at CL9 speeds when mixed.
