8 GB DDR3 1600 UDIMM

The Silicon Power SP008GBLTU160N02 is an 8 GB desktop memory module that runs at DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800). It uses a 240 pin unbuffered DIMM format with CL11 11-11-11-28 timings and operates at 1.50 V. This single stick suits owners of older DDR3 platforms who need a straightforward capacity increase.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Builders restoring or upgrading a DDR3 system that accepts unbuffered non ECC UDIMMs at 1.5 V will find this module a direct fit. Buyers who need error correcting code memory or registered modules for a workstation or server board cannot use this product. Anyone whose motherboard requires a different DDR generation or a lower voltage specification must select a different part.

Deciding specification: DDR3 1600 unbuffered non ECC

The single specification that decides compatibility is the DDR3 1600 unbuffered non ECC UDIMM standard with 1.50 V operation. A motherboard must support this exact memory type and voltage for the module to function. No other memory generation or form factor will work in its place.

Questions about this item

My motherboard has four 240-pin DDR3 slots — will this 8 GB UDIMM install in any of them?

Yes — the module is a 240-pin unbuffered DIMM built to the DDR3 standard, so it fits any desktop DDR3 slot.

I already have DDR3 1600 CL11 memory installed — will this stick run at the same 11-11-11-28 timings?

The module is rated for 11-11-11-28 at 1.50 V; the memory controller will match the slowest kit, so both sets will operate at those timings.

After seating the module, how do I confirm it is running at DDR3 1600 with CL11?

Check the BIOS memory tab or a tool such as CPU-Z — it should show 800 MHz DRAM frequency (1600 MT/s) and 11-11-11-28 timings at 1.50 V.
