1. Basic Description
• Type: DDR4 SDRAM (Double Data Rate 4 Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory)
• Capacity: 16GB (gigabytes)
• Usage: Desktop computers (not laptops — those use SO-DIMM)
• Form Factor: DIMM (usually 288 pins for DDR4 desktop modules)
Feature
Details
Memory Speed (Frequency)
Common speeds: 2133, 2400, 2666, 2933, 3200 MHz (and higher for overclocking modules like 3600, 4000 MHz)
Voltage
Typically 1.2V (low power compared to DDR3’s 1.5V)
Latency (CL)
Common values: CL14–CL22 (lower CL = slightly faster response)
Channel Support
Single, Dual, or Quad channel depending on motherboard support
ECC Support
Some DDR4 modules are ECC (Error-Correcting Code) — mainly for servers/workstations
Heat Spreader
Many performance RAMs have aluminum heat spreaders for cooling and aesthetics
