Know before you buy
This memory uses the SODIMM form factor, which is specifically designed for laptops and small form factor (SFF) PCs. It will not fit in standard desktop motherboards that require full-sized DIMM modules.
No, this module is designed for standard, stable operation at DDR4-3200 speeds with a CL22 latency. It does not feature XMP profiles or support for manual overclocking.
No, this is a non-ECC module. It is intended for standard consumer laptops and PCs that do not require Error Correction Code memory.
The 2Rx8 dual rank configuration allows the memory controller to access two sets of memory chips simultaneously. This can provide a slight performance advantage in certain workloads compared to single-rank modules.
Yes, this DDR4-3200 memory is generally backward compatible with systems that support slower DDR4 speeds, such as 2666MHz or 2400MHz. However, the RAM will automatically downclock to match the maximum speed supported by your processor and motherboard.
No, this is a standard, low-profile module without a heat spreader or RGB lighting. Its compact design ensures it fits easily into tight laptop memory slots.
