Dual-channel DDR3 16 GB kit

This OWC kit supplies 16 GB of desktop memory as two 8 GB unbuffered DIMMs. The modules run at DDR3 1066 (PC3-8500) with a CAS latency of CL7 and operate at the standard 1.5 V. They are non-ECC, 240-pin UDIMMs designed for dual-channel platforms.

Suitable for older DDR3 desktops and workstations

Systems that accept DDR3 1066 unbuffered non-ECC UDIMMs can use this kit to reach 16 GB in dual-channel mode. Machines that require ECC, registered DIMMs, or a newer DDR generation cannot use these modules.

Voltage fixed at 1.5 V

Every module in the kit is rated for 1.5 V only. If the target platform demands a different voltage the memory will not be compatible, so confirm the motherboard specification before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need a 240-pin DDR3 slot to use this 16GB kit?

Yes, the kit uses 240-pin DDR3 DIMMs that require a matching desktop motherboard slot.

Will these 1066MHz CL7 modules run correctly if my system already has slower DDR3 installed?

The motherboard will clock all modules to the slowest speed and loosest timings present.

How can I verify the dual-channel 16GB kit is detected at 1066MHz with CL7 timings after installation?

Check the BIOS memory info or run CPU-Z to confirm total capacity, speed and latency values.
