16GB DDR3 kit for legacy platforms

This 16GB kit contains two 8GB DDR3 modules rated at 1600MHz (PC3-12800) with 11-11-11-28 timings. It runs at the standard 1.5V and uses unbuffered non-ECC 240-pin DIMMs fitted with black heatspreaders. The modules are XMP ready and tested before shipping.

Suits Intel LGA 1155, 1156, 1366, 2011 and AMD AM3.

Builders restoring or upgrading systems on these older platforms will find the specified compatibility and tested stability useful. Systems requiring ECC, registered modules, or a different DDR generation cannot use this kit. Buyers needing more than 16GB of capacity should look elsewhere.

DDR3 1600MHz speed grade

The single specification that decides fitment is the DDR3 1600MHz (PC3-12800) rating. Motherboards must accept DDR3 DIMMs at this speed and voltage to operate correctly with these modules.

Questions about this item

Will the 11-11-11-28 timings hold at 1600MHz under sustained load?

The modules are rated for 11-11-11-28 at DDR3 1600 and use 1.5V, so the timings are the factory specification for continuous operation at that speed.

How much heat do the black heatspreaders add when the kit runs all day at 1.5V?

The black heatspreaders are designed to dissipate the heat from the 1.5V DDR3 modules during extended use, keeping temperatures within normal operating limits.

Which motherboard socket must I already have for this 240-pin DDR3 kit to work?

The kit is programmed for Intel LGA 1155, LGA 1156, LGA 1366, LGA 2011 and AMD AM3, AM3+, Llano and FM1 platforms, so your motherboard must use one of those sockets.
