16GB DDR4 3200 UDIMM
This 16GB DDR4 3200 UDIMM module runs at 1.20V with CL22 timings. It targets desktop owners who want a straightforward capacity increase without extra software tuning. The green PCB has no heat spreader, keeping the profile low for tight CPU cooler clearances. Intel XMP 2.0 support allows a single-click speed set-up on compatible boards.
Upgrade from slower DDR4
Replacing 2666MT/s or 2933MT/s DDR4 with this 3200MT/s kit can raise bandwidth by up to 32% and cut power draw by up to 40%. The module will downclock automatically if the platform only supports 2933MT/s or 2666MT/s, so the jump is worth it whenever the CPU and chipset officially list 3200MT/s. Micron backs the ICs with 42 years of memory expertise and module-level testing.
Tool-free DIMM slot install
Installation is a standard tool-free press into any 288-pin DDR4 UDIMM slot until the retention clips click. The most common issue is the motherboard defaulting to 2666MT/s or 2933MT/s until XMP is enabled in the BIOS. A second frequent issue occurs when mixing this stick with older modules that have different CAS latencies, which can prevent the system from posting at the rated speed.

Questions about this item
Does this 288-pin DDR4 module fit a standard desktop DIMM slot?
Yes, the 288-pin UDIMM form factor matches the standard DDR4 desktop memory slot used on consumer motherboards.
How do I enable the 3200 MT/s speed after installing the RAM?
Enter the BIOS and activate the Intel XMP 2.0 profile; without it the module will run at the default JEDEC speed instead of the rated 3200 MT/s.
Will the green PCB show visible wear or need cleaning over time?
The module has no heat spreader, so dust can settle on the exposed PCB; occasional compressed-air cleaning keeps the contacts reliable.
