SKU CH-1G1Q-TG1T2

A 16 GB DDR3 desktop memory kit with two 8 GB unbuffered DIMMs running at 1600 MHz, CL11, 1.5 V

  • 16 GB total capacity in a dual-channel kit of two 8 GB modules
  • DDR3 PC3-12800 speed rated at 1600 MHz for responsive desktop performance
  • CAS latency 11 at 1.5 V for efficient low-voltage operation
  • Unbuffered non-ECC 240-pin DIMM design compatible with standard desktop motherboards
  • 1024 Meg x 64 organisation providing 64-bit data width per module

Kit capacity and target systems

This Samsung DDR3 kit provides 16GB of desktop memory in a matched pair of 8GB modules. It is designed for standard desktop PCs that accept 240-pin DIMMs and support 8GB per slot. The unbuffered, non-ECC design suits typical home and office workloads.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify that your motherboard has two free DDR3 DIMM slots and officially supports 8GB modules at DDR3-1600. The kit requires a 1.5V supply and runs at CL11 latency. Ensure the platform can address the full 1024Meg x 64 density per module without BIOS limitations.

Build integration and system impact

The two modules populate a dual-channel pair, leaving remaining slots available for future expansion if the board allows. Unbuffered operation keeps latency low and power draw modest at the rated voltage. No additional cooling or configuration steps are needed beyond standard installation.

Questions about this item

Does the 16GB kit include both 8GB modules or must the second stick be purchased separately?

The kit contains two 8GB modules for a total of 16GB; nothing else is required to reach the stated capacity.

Should I choose the PC3-12800 1600MHz CL11 version or a different speed grade for my desktop?

Select this PC3-12800 1600MHz CL11 kit when your motherboard specifies DDR3 1600 unbuffered non-ECC memory; other speed grades will not match the rated timing and voltage.

What does the 1600MHz rating mean once the memory is installed in a real machine?

The modules run at 1600MHz with CL11 latency at 1.5V, delivering the standard DDR3 1600 data rate your desktop's memory controller expects.
