Memory Module G.Skill DDR3 8GB 1600MHz 2x4GB

The G.Skill DDR3 8GB 1600MHz kit includes two 4GB 240-pin DIMM modules designed to expand system memory in desktop PCs and compatible servers. Operating at a memory clock speed of 1600 MHz with CAS latency 9 and standard 1.5 V voltage, this kit provides a balanced combination of capacity and timing for general multitasking and application responsiveness. The modules conform to DDR3 specifications and install in standard DIMM slots on motherboards that support DDR3 memory.

Advantages

This memory kit increases available RAM to 8 GB using two matched 4GB modules, enabling improved multitasking and smoother application switching. Operating at 1600 MHz with CAS latency 9 offers predictable performance for everyday computing tasks while maintaining compatibility with a wide range of motherboards. The 240-pin DIMM form factor and standard 1.5 V operating voltage ensure straightforward installation and stable electrical characteristics when installed in supported systems.

Suitable for

• Upgrading desktop PCs to improve multitasking and system responsiveness
• Home and office computing with web browsing, office applications and media playback
• Entry-level workstation or server use where DDR3 memory is supported

Key specifications

• Total capacity: 8 GB (2 × 4 GB)
• Memory type: DDR3
• Clock speed: 1600 MHz
• CAS latency: 9
• Form factor: 240-pin DIMM
• Operating voltage: 1.5 V

How to use

Power down the computer and disconnect the power cable before installing the modules. Open the PC case to access the motherboard DIMM slots, consult the motherboard manual to identify supported slot configurations and dual-channel placement. Align the notch on each 240-pin DIMM with the slot and press evenly until the retaining clips latch. Reconnect power and start the system; the BIOS/UEFI should detect the new memory and report the combined capacity and operating speed. If necessary, verify or adjust memory settings in BIOS/UEFI according to the motherboard documentation.

Recommendations

Install the two modules in the motherboard slots recommended for dual-channel operation to achieve optimal bandwidth. Ensure your motherboard supports DDR3 1600 MHz and 1.5 V modules; update the BIOS/UEFI if required for compatibility. Handle modules by the edges and avoid static discharge by grounding yourself before installation.
