Kingston ValueRAM KVR16N11/8
Specific Kingston DDR3-1600 desktop UDIMM. This is a named manufacturer product or kit, not a general DDR standard overview. Specifications below are limited to information published for the model.
MODEL ID: Kingston ValueRAM KVR16N11/8. Confirm the full model number, suffix, revision and SPD against the actual specimen before relying on compatibility or timing claims.
Model specifications
| Manufacturer / product | Kingston ValueRAM KVR16N11/8 |
|---|---|
| Product class | Specific Kingston DDR3-1600 desktop UDIMM |
| Source-backed configuration | 8 GB DDR3-1600 (PC3-12800 class), 240-pin unbuffered non-ECC DIMM; CL11; nominal 1.5 V per product specification. Rank is not claimed because revisions may differ. |
| Platform compatibility | Requires DDR3 system support for 8 GB DIMMs and the module density. Not for DDR2 or DDR4; the processor may operate it at a lower supported data rate. |
| Variant boundaries | Only values cited for this exact SKU are stated. Unlisted timings, ranks, organization, or sub-revision differences must be checked against the specimen label, SPD and manufacturer data. |
Compatibility & service notes
- Requires DDR3 system support for 8 GB DIMMs and the module density. Not for DDR2 or DDR4; the processor may operate it at a lower supported data rate.
- Power down before removal, use ESD precautions, handle by the edges, and never force a memory module into a keyed socket.
- Identify ECC and buffering independently: ECC UDIMM, RDIMM, and LRDIMM have distinct platform support requirements. DDR5 on-die ECC is not system-level ECC.
- Check CPU/controller support, motherboard or server service manual, firmware, module capacity/density, slot population and supported data rate. Physical fit is not proof of compatibility.
Archival record fields
Record sticker revision/date code and SPD-reported organization; confirm platform maximum capacity and density support before service. Preserve label photographs, SPD data, full SKU, revision/date code, host configuration, BIOS/BMC version and test results. When installed, record slot and channel location.
Manufacturer & standards sources
- Kingston — KVR16N11/8 datasheetManufacturer source for the named product; use full part number and revision to verify the specimen.
- JEDEC — DDR3 SDRAM standardGeneration-level standards context; the product listing identifies the module-specific data.
Manufacturer pages are the model-specific source; JEDEC pages define generation-level context. For a preserved machine, its vendor manual and validated memory support list take precedence over generic fit claims.
