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

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.
