Technical Overview
This RAM module adheres to the DDR4-3200 (PC4-25600) standard, offering a data transfer rate of 3200 MT/s. The 288-pin DIMM form factor is the industry standard for desktop memory, ensuring physical compatibility with most modern DDR4 motherboard slots. The module's unbuffered signal processing reduces latency compared to registered designs, making it ideal for systems where direct memory access speed is prioritized.
With a CAS latency of CL22, this memory provides responsive performance for applications that benefit from quick data retrieval. The dual-rank configuration allows the memory controller to access two sets of memory banks alternately, improving efficiency under certain workloads. The 1.20V operating voltage aligns with DDR4's power efficiency goals, helping reduce overall system power consumption compared to older DDR3 modules.

User Manual
FAQ
What desktop systems is this RAM module compatible with?
This Patriot Memory module is compatible with desktop PCs that support DDR4 memory technology, specifically those with motherboard slots accepting 288-pin DIMMs. It works with both Intel and AMD platforms that list DDR4-3200 (or lower) memory support in their specifications. Since it's unbuffered and non-ECC, it's designed for mainstream consumer and business motherboards rather than server or workstation platforms requiring registered or ECC memory.
Can I use this 16GB module in a dual-channel configuration?
Yes, this single 16GB DDR4-3200 module can be used in dual-channel configurations when paired with another identical or compatible 16GB module. For optimal dual-channel performance, manufacturers typically recommend using matched pairs from the same kit, but this module will work in dual-channel mode with another 16GB DDR4-3200 module of similar specifications. Always consult your motherboard manual for specific dual-channel installation requirements and slot placement.
What does 'unbuffered' and 'non-ECC' mean for this memory?
Unbuffered means the memory module communicates directly with the memory controller without an intermediate register, reducing latency compared to registered (buffered) memory. Non-ECC indicates the module doesn't include Error-Correcting Code functionality, which detects and corrects single-bit memory errors. Most consumer and business desktop systems use unbuffered, non-ECC memory like this module, while servers and workstations often require registered ECC memory for higher reliability in critical applications.
How does the 3200 MHz speed compare to other DDR4 memory options?
DDR4-3200 operates at 3200 megatransfers per second, placing it in the mid-range of DDR4 speeds commonly available. It offers better performance than entry-level DDR4-2133 or DDR4-2400 modules while remaining widely compatible without requiring extensive BIOS tuning. Compared to higher-speed DDR4-3600 or DDR4-4000 modules, it provides a good balance of performance and compatibility for systems that don't support extreme memory overclocking. The actual performance benefit depends on your specific processor and motherboard capabilities.
What is the significance of the dual-rank design?
Dual-rank means the memory module has two sets of memory chips that the memory controller can access alternately. This architecture can improve performance in certain scenarios by allowing better utilization of the memory bus compared to single-rank modules of the same capacity. In practical terms, dual-rank modules may offer slightly better performance in memory-intensive applications, though the difference is often modest. The dual-rank design is common for 16GB DDR4 modules and doesn't affect compatibility with standard motherboards.
Does this memory module support XMP profiles for easy overclocking?
The product specifications don't explicitly mention XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) support. Many Patriot Memory modules do include XMP profiles for simplified overclocking to their rated speeds, but you should check the manufacturer's documentation or product page for confirmation. If XMP is supported, you can enable it in your motherboard BIOS to automatically configure the memory to run at its advertised 3200 MHz speed with optimal timings, rather than defaulting to a lower JEDEC standard speed.
