Technical Overview
This memory module implements the DDR4-2666/PC4-21333 standard with an effective data rate of 2666 million transfers per second. The CL19 timing specification indicates the column address strobe latency cycles, which affects how quickly the memory can respond to data requests.
The 1.20V operating voltage represents DDR4's power efficiency advantage, reducing thermal output compared to higher-voltage DDR3 modules. The unbuffered signal processing design keeps latency minimal without the additional buffering circuitry found in registered modules.

FAQ
What type of systems is this memory module compatible with?
This Kingston ValueRAM module is designed for desktop systems with DDR4 memory support and standard 288-pin DIMM slots. It requires a motherboard that accepts unbuffered Non-ECC DDR4 memory at 2666 MHz speed. Always verify your system's specific memory requirements before purchase, as compatibility depends on the motherboard's memory controller and BIOS support.
What does the DDR4-2666/PC4-21333 designation mean?
DDR4-2666 refers to the memory technology and speed, indicating Double Data Rate 4 memory operating at 2666 million transfers per second. PC4-21333 is the module designation that corresponds to this speed, where 21333 represents the peak transfer rate in megabytes per second. Both identifiers confirm this module meets the specifications for 2666 MHz DDR4 memory.
Is this ECC or non-ECC memory?
This is Non-ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory. Non-ECC modules do not include the additional circuitry to detect and correct memory errors, which makes them suitable for mainstream desktop applications where absolute data integrity isn't critical. ECC memory is typically reserved for servers and workstations where data accuracy is paramount.
What is the significance of the CL19 latency rating?
CL19 indicates a CAS Latency of 19 clock cycles, which measures the delay between when a memory controller requests data and when that data becomes available. Lower CAS latency numbers generally mean faster response times, though actual performance depends on the complete timing profile. CL19 represents a standard latency for DDR4-2666 memory modules in this performance category.
Can I mix this module with other memory in my system?
While technically possible, mixing memory modules with different specifications can lead to compatibility issues. For optimal stability, use identical modules with matching capacity, speed, timings, and voltage. If mixing is necessary, all modules will typically run at the speed and timings of the slowest module installed. Consult your motherboard documentation for specific mixing guidelines.
What warranty coverage does this Kingston memory include?
Kingston provides a lifetime limited warranty for this ValueRAM memory module. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product when used under normal conditions. Warranty service typically involves replacement of the defective module, though specific terms may vary by region and should be verified with Kingston's current warranty policy.
