Two green DDR3 desktop memory modules with gold contacts

SK hynix

SK hynix 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 CL11 Desktop Memory

SKU CH-CRNS-XZP1K

An 8 GB dual-channel DDR3-1600 kit with CL11 timing for desktop upgrades

  • Total capacity8 GB (2 × 4 GB)
  • Rated speedDDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
  • CAS latencyCL11
  • 8GB dual-channel kit gives responsive multitasking
  • DDR3 1600 MHz clock keeps data moving fast
  • CL11 latency shortens access delays
  • 5 V operation reduces power draw
  • 240-pin DIMMs fit standard desktop slots

Kit details

This kit contains two 4 GB modules for a total of 8 GB. They run at DDR3 1600 speed with a CAS latency of CL11 and operate at 1.5 V. The 240-pin DIMMs are non-ECC and unbuffered for standard desktop boards.

What the pair changes

Installing both sticks enables dual-channel operation on compatible motherboards, doubling the memory bandwidth compared with a single module. The matched timings and voltage help the system train at the rated 1600 MT/s without manual adjustment.

Who this suits

Builders upgrading or repairing a DDR3 platform that supports 1600 MT/s CL11 memory will find a direct fit. Users who need ECC error correction, higher capacities per slot, or a newer DDR generation should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will the 240-pin DDR3 modules need any periodic replacement or maintenance after installation?

No, the DDR3 DIMMs have no moving parts and require no scheduled maintenance or replacement once seated in the motherboard.

What is the first limit reached during sustained heavy workloads with these CL11 1600 MHz sticks?

The CAS latency of 11 cycles at 1600 MHz sets the timing floor, so latency-bound tasks hit that limit before bandwidth saturates.

How much heat and power do the two 4 GB modules produce when running all day at 1.5 V?

Each module operates at 1.5 V with a 200 MHz memory clock, so combined power draw and heat output remain low for typical desktop loads.
