DDR3 1600 dual-channel kit

This OWC kit provides 16 GB of DDR3 1600 memory in two 8 GB unbuffered UDIMMs. The modules run at the JEDEC-standard 1.5 V with CL11 latency and use the 240-pin desktop form factor. They are designed for desktop and workstation systems that accept non-ECC DDR3 memory.

Suits standard DDR3 desktops.

The kit fits motherboards with four or two DDR3 slots that support unbuffered, non-ECC DIMMs at 1.5 V. Systems requiring registered, fully buffered, or ECC modules cannot use this memory. Laptops and small-form-factor boards that only accept SO-DIMMs are also incompatible.

240-pin DDR3 1600 CL11 at 1.5 V

The decisive specification is the 240-pin DDR3 1600 (PC3-12800) interface with CL11 timing and 1.5 V operation. If the motherboard specifies DDR3 1600 unbuffered non-ECC UDIMMs at this voltage, the kit will install and run at its rated speed.

Questions about this item

My desktop only has two 240-pin DDR3 slots — can I install this 16GB kit without removing existing modules?

The kit contains two 8GB DIMMs and occupies both slots on a typical dual-channel board, so any current memory would need to be removed first.

Will the black unbuffered DIMMs work in a board that still runs older DDR3 modules at CL9?

All modules run at the slowest installed speed and highest latency, so the CL11 sticks will match the CL9 timing automatically.

How do I verify the kit is running at PC3-12800 after installation?

Open Task Manager or a system-information tool and confirm the memory speed reads 1600MHz with CL11 timings.
