FAQ
What is the memory capacity of this Patriot Memory module?
This Patriot Memory Signature module provides 8GB of DDR3 SDRAM capacity. The 8GB size offers sufficient memory for typical desktop computing tasks, including office productivity, web browsing, multimedia playback, and light content creation applications in systems that support DDR3 technology.
What speed does this DDR3 memory module operate at?
The module operates at 1600 MHz, which corresponds to the DDR3-1600 memory standard. This speed provides a data transfer rate of 12,800 MB/s (often referred to as PC3-12800), delivering adequate bandwidth for everyday desktop computing needs and compatible with motherboards that support DDR3-1600 specifications.
Is this memory module ECC or non-ECC?
This is a non-ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory module. Non-ECC memory does not include error correction circuitry, making it suitable for standard desktop computers rather than servers or workstations that require error correction for critical data integrity. The module uses unbuffered signal processing for direct connection to the memory controller.
What form factor does this memory module use?
The module uses the DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) form factor specifically designed for desktop computers. It features 240 pins that connect to standard DDR3 memory slots on desktop motherboards. The physical dimensions are 5.35 inches in length, 1.14 inches in width, and 0.14 inches in thickness, conforming to JEDEC standards for DDR3 DIMM modules.
What is the CAS latency of this memory?
This Patriot Memory module has a CAS latency of CL11. CAS latency represents the number of clock cycles between a read command and data availability. CL11 at 1600 MHz provides balanced performance for desktop applications, offering responsive operation while maintaining compatibility with systems designed for DDR3-1600 memory specifications.
What type of systems is this memory compatible with?
This memory module is compatible with desktop PCs that support DDR3 memory technology. It requires a motherboard with 240-pin DDR3 memory slots and a chipset that supports DDR3-1600 (PC3-12800) memory standards. The module is unbuffered and non-ECC, making it suitable for standard desktop configurations rather than server or workstation systems that may require registered or ECC memory.
