Two green DDR400 DIMMs with gold 184-pin edges and black chips

Simmtec, Inc

Simmtec, Inc 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR400 desktop RAM 184-pin CL 3.0

SKU CH-18NQ-XC1Y1

Two matched 1 GB DDR400 desktop DIMMs deliver 2 GB total at 400 MHz with CL 3.0 latency

  • Total capacity2 GB (2 × 1 GB)
  • 2GB kit expands system memory using two 1GB modules
  • 400MHz DDR400 speed matches PC3200 specification
  • CL 3.0 latency supports responsive operation
  • 184-pin DIMM fits standard desktop DDR slots
  • Tested modules with Samsung chips reduce crash risk

Kit configuration

This kit supplies two 1GB DDR400 modules for a total of 2GB. It targets owners of legacy desktop systems that accept 184-pin unbuffered DIMMs and need a matched pair for stable dual-channel operation. Non-ECC, non-parity design suits standard consumer motherboards of the era. Builders restoring or upgrading period-correct hardware will find the specification a direct fit.

Thermal and power behaviour

DDR400 modules of this type run at modest voltage and generate little heat under normal desktop workloads. No active cooling is required and the sticks operate silently inside a typical case airflow. Power draw remains low enough that a standard ATX supply handles the kit without extra headroom. The CL 3.0 latency setting is conservative, reducing electrical stress during sustained use.

Physical build and installation

Each stick uses Samsung chips mounted on a green 184-pin PCB with gold-edge contacts. The unbuffered layout means the modules plug straight into the motherboard slots without registration circuitry. A single notch keys the DIMM to prevent backward insertion, so alignment is straightforward. Once seated, the retaining clips lock automatically, securing the kit for transport or long-term service.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 184-pin DDR400 modules and what step is often missed?

Align the notch on each 184-pin DIMM with the slot key, press straight down until both side clips click, then verify the BIOS reports 400 MHz operation.

What maintenance or replacement will this memory need later?

No routine maintenance is required; the unbuffered non-ECC modules either run reliably for the system's life or are replaced if a fault appears.

What limit appears first under sustained use with CL 3.0 timing?

The CAS latency 3.0 cycle at 400 MHz sets the minimum access delay; bandwidth and stability are bounded by that timing window.
