System-Specific DDR3 Kit

This 16 GB kit contains two 8 GB unbuffered DIMMs built for HP Pavilion 500-238D, 500-245La, 500-281 and 500-A60 desktops. It uses 240-pin DDR3 SDRAM running at 1600 MHz with CL11 timing and 1.5 V operation. The modules are non-ECC and carry a 2Rx8 rank configuration.

DDR3 1600 Interface Limits

The DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) standard tops out at this data rate, so the kit cannot exceed 1600 MHz without platform overclocking support. Two DIMMs fill both available slots on the supported Pavilion boards, leaving no free sockets for further expansion. The 1.5 V requirement matches the platform specification exactly.

16 GB Capacity Headroom

Sixteen gigabytes matches the maximum memory the compatible Pavilion models can address, giving full headroom for multitasking and larger workloads. Builders needing more than 16 GB must choose a different platform, as the chipset and socket count prevent larger kits. The dual-rank design helps density but does not raise the system ceiling.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 16GB (2x8GB) kit or a single 8GB module for my HP Pavilion 500-238D?

The 16GB kit fills both slots for dual-channel performance and matches the board's 16GB maximum, while a single 8GB leaves capacity unused.

What does the PC3-12800 rating mean once the modules are installed?

It confirms the memory runs at 1600 MHz with CL11 timing at 1.5V, delivering the standard DDR3-1600 bandwidth your Pavilion expects.

Will the 240-pin DDR3 interface limit speed on my 500-245La motherboard?

The 240-pin DDR3 slots are native to these models, so the 1600 MHz modules operate at their rated speed without downclocking.
