Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this RAM compatible with laptops?
No, this is a 288-pin DIMM module designed specifically for desktop PCs and servers. Laptops typically use smaller SO-DIMM modules.
Can I mix this with my current RAM?
You can, but for best results, it is recommended to match capacity, speed, and latency (CL16) with your existing modules to ensure system stability.
What does CL16 mean?
CL16 refers to the CAS latency, which is the delay time between the memory controller requesting data and the memory module providing it. Lower numbers are generally faster.
Does this module support dual-channel mode?
Dual-channel operation depends on your motherboard's capability and having two identical modules installed in the correct slots.
Is this memory good for gaming?
It is suitable for casual gaming and general PC performance. For professional or competitive gaming, high-frequency, low-latency performance memory is typically preferred.
What is the warranty period?
This product is backed by a limited lifetime warranty from Corsair.
Troubleshooting
System fails to boot or beeps during startup
Ensure the module is fully seated in the slot. Remove and re-insert the RAM to confirm the locking tabs have clicked into position.
Computer shows less memory than expected
Check the BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure the motherboard recognizes the full capacity of the module. Also, verify that your operating system version supports 8GB+ of memory.
System crashes or experiences blue screens
Run a memory diagnostic tool, such as Windows Memory Diagnostic, to check for faulty sectors. If errors persist, try installing the module in a different DIMM slot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward due to the standard 288-pin DIMM form factor. Before installing, ensure your PC is powered off and unplugged. Use an anti-static wrist strap or touch a metal part of the PC case to discharge static electricity. Align the notch on the memory module with the key in the DIMM slot, and press down firmly until the side tabs click into place.
Compatibility covers 7th Gen Intel Core processors and various AMD Ryzen configurations, as well as Intel 100 through 400 series chipsets. To care for your memory, keep your PC case clean of dust and ensure adequate airflow to prevent heat buildup. Always handle the module by the edges and avoid touching the gold-plated contact pins to prevent corrosion or poor conductivity.
