Two green DDR3 DIMM modules with black heat spreaders

Simmtec, Inc

Simmtec, Inc 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz PC3-12800 CL11 240-pin 1.5V Desktop RAM

SKU CH-QVS6-X7E1F

Dual-channel 8 GB DDR3 kit running at 1600 MHz with CL11 timings and 1.5 V operation

  • Total capacity8 GB (2 × 4 GB)
  • Rated speedDDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
  • Dual-channel 8 GB kit boosts multitasking with two matched 4 GB modules
  • DDR3 1600 MHz PC3-12800 speed accelerates data transfer for responsive performance
  • CL11 latency at 1.5 V keeps timing tight while limiting power draw
  • 240-pin DIMM form factor fits standard desktop motherboard slots
  • 100 % tested modules reduce risk of crashes and motherboard damage

Kit Configuration

This Simmtec kit supplies eight gigabytes of desktop memory as two matched four-gigabyte modules. The DDR3 DIMMs run at 1600 MHz with a PC3-12800 rating and a CAS latency of 11. Each stick uses the standard 240-pin layout and operates at 1.5 volts.

Upgrade Scope

The pair replaces a single module or a lower-capacity set in boards that accept DDR3 240-pin memory. The jump is worthwhile when the system currently runs with less than eight gigabytes total or when mismatched sticks force the controller to run at a slower speed.

Build Fit

Installation requires a desktop motherboard with two free DDR3 DIMM slots and a memory controller that supports 1600 MHz operation. The matched pair enables dual-channel mode where the board allows it, freeing the remaining slots for future expansion without mixing module specifications.

Questions about this item

Will the 240-pin DDR3 DIMMs fit my motherboard's memory slots?

These modules use the standard 240-pin DDR3 form factor, so they install in any desktop board with DDR3 slots.

Do I need to enable XMP in BIOS to reach 1600 MHz, or is it plug-and-play?

The kit runs at 1600 MHz with CL11 timings at the standard 1.5 V; most boards will configure this automatically without manual BIOS changes.

How do I know if a module fails later, and can I replace just one stick?

Each 4 GB stick is tested before shipping; if errors appear, run a memory diagnostic to isolate the faulty module and replace only that DIMM.
