Computer Memory Solutions 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 2400MHz CL17 SODIMM memory upgrade C109

Intel NUC 16GB DDR4 Kit

This 16GB kit contains two 8GB DDR4 SO-DIMM modules rated at 2400MHz with CL17 timing and 1.2V operation. It is built specifically for Intel NUC models NUC7i5BNH, NUC7i5BNK, NUC7i5DNHE, NUC7i5DNKE and NUC7i5DNKPC. The unbuffered, non-ECC design uses 260-pin connectors and major-brand chipsets. A matched pair is supplied to enable dual-channel operation on the two available sockets.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Under continuous workloads the modules maintain their rated 2400MHz speed and CL17 latency without throttling, as they operate at the standard 1.2V DDR4 voltage and lack a heat spreader that could trap heat in the compact NUC chassis. The 2Rx8 organisation provides stable throughput for long rendering, compilation or virtualisation sessions. All installed memory will run at the slowest module or processor limit, so the matched pair ensures consistent performance across both channels.

Upgrade Context

The kit raises total system memory to 16GB, well above the 4GB floor that requires a 64-bit operating system. It leaves one upgrade path open: the platform supports a maximum of 32GB across its two sockets, so a future move to two 16GB modules is possible. Buyers who need 32GB immediately should choose a 2x16GB kit instead, as mixing capacities would force both slots to run at the lower module's specifications.
