DDR3-1600 UDIMM (PC3-12800)
DDR3 unbuffered desktop memory standard. This entry records a distinct product or well-defined family; differences among revisions and similarly named models are called out below.
MODEL IDENTIFICATION: Match the full model/part number, revision, and region to the item label and its manufacturer documentation. Where a family has multiple revisions, specifications below are not universal across the family.
Recorded specifications
| Cataloged part | DDR3-1600 UDIMM (PC3-12800) |
|---|---|
| Era / family | DDR3 unbuffered desktop memory standard |
| Key specifications | 240-pin UDIMM; 1.5 V nominal JEDEC DDR3; 1600 MT/s effective transfer rate; peak theoretical bandwidth 12.8 GB/s per 64-bit channel. |
| Interface / fit | DDR3 only fits DDR3 slots; DDR3L is a lower-voltage class with platform-dependent compatibility. |
| Variants / identification | PC3-12800 usually indicates theoretical bandwidth class; rank, density, and ECC must be read from module label/SPD. |
| Archive record | Record full part number, hardware revision, serial/date code, firmware/BIOS, accessories, physical condition, and the documentation revision used for verification. |
Compatibility and handling
- Confirm the complete part number, connector signal/pinout, supported host, dimensions, power, firmware and operating-system requirements before use.
- Inspect for corrosion, cracked parts, bent pins, damaged insulation, failing bearings, leaking cells, or prior repair. Avoid powering unidentified or damaged hardware.
- For compatibility claims, cite a specific manual, CPU support list, interface standard, or tested host configuration; physical fit alone is insufficient.
- Record measurements with the test setup and instrument conditions; distinguish vendor maximums from measured or sustained results.
