DIMM 4 GB DDR3-1600 (2x 2 GB) Dual-Kit (F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ, NQ, Lite Retail)

The G.Skill 4GB DDR3 1600MHz memory kit consists of two 2GB modules in a dual-channel configuration, providing a total of 4 GB of system memory. Designed for use in desktop PCs and compatible motherboards, the modules use the 240-pin DIMM form factor and operate at a nominal voltage of 1.5 V with CAS latency 9-9-9-24.

Advantages

This memory kit offers a balanced combination of 1600 MHz clock speed and CL9 timings suitable for mainstream desktop computing. The dual-module kit enables dual-channel operation where supported, improving memory throughput compared with a single-module configuration. The 240-pin DIMM format ensures wide compatibility with motherboards that support DDR3 memory.

Suitable for

• Upgrading desktop PCs to increase available RAM for multitasking
• Systems that support DDR3 240-pin DIMM memory at 1600 MHz
• Users seeking a cost-effective dual-channel memory configuration

How to use

Power off the PC and disconnect it from the mains before installing memory. Open the desktop case, locate the DDR3 240-pin DIMM slots on the motherboard and refer to the motherboard manual for the correct slots to enable dual-channel mode. Align the module notch with the slot key, press firmly until the retention clips snap into place, then close the case and reconnect power. After booting, verify the system recognizes the full 4 GB and the correct 1600 MHz speed in the BIOS or operating system.

Recommendations

Install the modules in matched slot pairs as indicated by the motherboard manual to ensure dual-channel operation; confirm BIOS settings for memory frequency and timings if stability or compatibility issues occur.
