Two black DDR3 DIMM sticks with tall crown heatspreaders

Simmtec, Inc

Simmtec, Inc 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR3 1866MHz Crown Heatspreaders 10-11-10-30 desktop RAM

SKU CH-0RD1-BVXV2

16 GB kit of two DDR3 DIMMs at 1866 MHz with Crown heatspreaders, 10-11-10-30 timings and 1.5 V operation

  • Total capacity16 GB (2 × 8 GB)
  • 16 GB dual-channel kit for responsive multitasking
  • 1866 MHz DDR3 speed supports faster data throughput
  • Crown heatspreaders dissipate heat for stable operation
  • XMP ready profile enables one-click overclocking
  • Tested modules with lifetime warranty ensure long-term reliability

16GB DDR3 kit for legacy desktop builds

This 16 GB kit contains two 8 GB unbuffered non-ECC DIMMs built for older desktop platforms. It targets owners of LGA 1155, LGA 1156, LGA 1366, LGA 2011, AM3, AM3+, Llano or FM1 systems who need a straightforward capacity upgrade. The modules run at the standard 1.5 V and use the 240-pin DDR3 interface.

1866 MHz speed with 10-11-10-30 timings

The single specification that decides fit is the 1866 MHz data rate, labelled PC3-15000, paired with 10-11-10-30 latency figures. If the motherboard or CPU memory controller cannot operate at that frequency and timing combination the kit will not deliver its rated performance. XMP readiness allows the profile to be loaded automatically on supporting firmware.

16 GB total capacity for everyday multitasking

Sixteen gigabytes handles typical office suites, web browsing with many tabs and light content creation without pressure. Memory-intensive workloads such as large video projects, virtual machines or modern game texture caches will exceed the available headroom. The fixed two-module layout also leaves no free slots for future expansion on most boards.

Questions about this item

How does the 1866MHz rating translate to bandwidth in a desktop?

The PC3-15000 label means the kit is rated for up to 15 000 MB/s of peak bandwidth when running at the full 1866MHz data rate.

Does the XMP-ready DDR3 kit need a specific voltage to hit 1866MHz?

It operates at the standard DDR3 voltage of 1.5V, so XMP profiles can be applied without raising the memory voltage.

Will the Crown heatspreaders on these 240-pin DIMMs clear a typical tower cooler?

The modules use a standard 240-pin desktop DIMM form factor; the Crown heatspreaders add some height, so verify your cooler’s clearance before installing.
