Know before you buy
No. This is a Registered DIMM (RDIMM) designed specifically for servers and certain high-end workstations. It is not compatible with standard consumer motherboards or laptops that require non-ECC, unbuffered memory.
Registered memory includes a hardware register between the memory modules and the system's memory controller. This reduces the electrical load on the controller, allowing for greater system stability and the ability to support larger amounts of RAM, which is essential for server environments.
Yes, this module features ECC support. It is designed to detect and fix common types of internal data corruption, making it an ideal choice for critical applications where data integrity is paramount.
You can, provided your motherboard supports Registered ECC memory and the new module matches the speed and voltage of your current setup. However, for the best stability, we recommend matching the specifications and rank of your existing modules as closely as possible.
This module has been tested to ensure it meets original performance standards and is fully functional. It comes with a 90-day warranty to provide peace of mind regarding its reliability and longevity.
The CL9 CAS latency refers to the delay between the memory controller requesting data and the module making it available. A lower latency like CL9 allows for quicker responsiveness compared to higher-latency modules, helping your system process tasks more efficiently.
