  • Features
    • Buffered or Registered: Unbuffered (Registered (buffered) memory modules are classified by the addition of a register between the memory controller and DRAM modules. When compared to conventional unbuffered (unregistered) memory, this type provides more stability with less electrical load on the controller, making it a common choice for use in robust applications, such as servers.)
    • Data Integrity Check: Non-ECC (Error-correcting code (ECC) memory helps to maintain data integrity within a computer system, protecting it from potential crashes as well as losses or changes to data due to undetected errors. Systems that use ECC have an additional chip on the RAM that acts as the error check.)
    • Memory Channels: Dual (Multi-channel memory increases the rate of data transfer between the DRAM memory and memory controller by adding more channels of communication. The more channels, the more memory bandwidth.)

Whats Included
  • 2x XLR8 Gaming 8GB 3200MHz DDR4 DRAM (PC4-25600) CL16 1.35V UDIMM Desktop Memory

Q: Is this RAM compatible with Intel XMP?

A: Yes, this RAM supports Intel XMP 2.0 profiles.

Q: What is the operating voltage of this RAM?

A: This RAM operates at 1.35 volts.

Q: Does this RAM have a fan included for cooling?

A: No, this RAM does not come with a fan. It features enhanced thermal performance for reliable operation.

Q: What is the CAS latency of this RAM?

A: The CAS latency of this RAM is 16.

Q: What is the total memory capacity of this RAM kit?

A: This RAM kit comes with two 8GB modules, providing a total of 16GB of memory.

Q: What type of memory is this?

A: This is a DDR4 SDRAM memory kit.

Q: why is this ram so expensive, is it samsung b-die? this 16gb kit, is the same price as most 32gb kits.

A: The faster speeds at 3.2ghz is the reason for the price jump. It's specialized memory. if your MB cannot support the faster speeds then it's pointless to get, but if it can - you will see a performance boost. Oddly to note - the more memory you have in your PC, the longer your boot times will be. So even if you have the fastest memory, if you have too much of it (really over 16gb) you will think it is slower initially on the boot as compared to lower speed cheaper memory. This memory is designed for gaming which sees minor befits in FPS and overall game play once started as compared to slower memory. Memory itself if expensive right now, it's just the way the market fluctuates. There is not a common standard for computers so many different MB's use different speeds of memory which cause a rift because manufactures cannot make as much memory since there are so many variations of it today. Once older standards drop off their serviceable shelf life, this memory will start to come down in price since manufactures will not need to produce the old style of memory. That all being said, this particular memory is also not that expensive - it regularly goes on sale for around $100 (Price I paid for it)- when it's not on sale it usually means Best Buy does not have it in stock or enough quantity to justify a sale. I used to work at Best Buy about 12 years ago - their processes have not changed for sales and stock advertisements to customers. When something is on sale, they have a lot of stock and want to get rid of it fast.

    Excellent Quality - Fast - Details Here

    Great design with large heatsinks and fits well together in the motherboard. I was able to benchmark this on UserBenchmark to get real world results at 3200 MHz (RAM shows up under: PNY 8GBF1X08QFHH36-135-K 4x8GB) and it performed at 104% against the benchmark and in the top 10% of RAM tested in UB's database. Multi Core Test: Read 40.0 GB/s, Write 39.5 GB/s, Mixed 32.2 GB/s, Average 37.2 GB/s Single Core Test: Read 21.0 GB/s, Write 42.5 GB/s, Mixed 29.8 GB/s, Average: 31.1 GB/s Latency: 55 ns While there are cheaper options out there, these perform exceptionally well against other 3200 Mhz DDR4 RAM

    Works at rated speed out-of-the-box

    Purchased 2 different sets from 2 different Best Buy locations. One used Hynix chips, the other Samsung b-die. There was no discernible difference on the sticks or packaging (unlike Corsair which lists a version number) to help differentiate them. Used the Hynix set with an Intel i5-9400 and Gigabyte Z370 HD3. Set XMP in the BIOS and it ran with no issues. I didn't attempt to overclock them. Used the Samsung b-die with a Ryzen 7 3800X and MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC (7B85v1B BIOS). Couldn't get them to work with the A-XMP profile at any voltage in the DIMMA1 and DIMMB1 slots, but the motherboard and user's manual both list DIMMA2 and DIMMB2 as the primary slots. After changing the DIMM slots, they booted up at A-XMP speeds with no issues. Could not get them to boot at 3200 CAS14, even with DRAM voltage up to 1.50v. Was able to boot at 3600 CAS16 at 1.45v, but was unstable, even at 1.50v. Booted and stable at 3600 CAS18, but it benched slower than stock. Currently running them at 3466 CAS16 at 1.40v, stable with no issues. About a 3% boost in Passmark and 7% boost in AIDA64 benchmarks. My only wish is that there was some indicator on the package of what memory chips are used because I'd like to buy another Samsung b-die set so I can run my RAM in Dual Rank.

    Incredible value

    This works phenomenally! install was easy,clean,and fast and provided noticeable performance after the upgrade. My build also didn't take too long to adjust to the upgrade and turned on smooth as butter.

    Great ram for a great price.

    Liked the price and was glad to find this at the store instead of online for that cheap. Works great and was easy to install. I am building a ryzen 5 gaming pc for a customer and they where happy with the price and product.
