Black Diamond Memory BD16G1600MTR26 16GB DDR3 1600 ECC Registered server RAM

16GB DDR3 1600 ECC Registered Module

This 16GB DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) module is built for servers and workstations that require registered ECC memory. It operates at CL11 with 11-11-11-14 timings and uses a 240-pin form factor. The dual-rank 2Rx4 organisation helps maximise capacity per channel on compatible platforms. Buyers needing unbuffered or non-ECC DDR3 cannot use this module.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

Registered ECC DDR3 modules run at standard JEDEC voltage and produce modest heat under typical server workloads. Passive cooling via chassis airflow is sufficient; no active fan is attached to the DIMM itself. Power draw scales with bus activity and remains within the DDR3 1600 specification envelope. Acoustic contribution is zero because the component has no moving parts.

Build Quality and Daily Connectors

Each stick uses a 240-pin edge connector keyed for DDR3 registered slots, preventing mis-insertion into unbuffered sockets. The PCB carries high-quality DRAM chips tested across over 200000 system configurations for compatibility assurance. Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation in long-term rack deployments. The registered buffer adds a clock cycle of latency but improves signal integrity on heavily populated memory buses.
