Geheugenmodule G.Skill DDR3 8GB 1866MHz

The G.Skill DDR3 8GB 1866MHz memory module is a single 8 GB DIMM designed to expand system RAM capacity for desktop PCs and compatible servers. Operating at an effective clock of 1866 MHz and a CAS latency of 10, the module follows standard DDR3 electrical and timing characteristics. Its 240-pin DIMM form factor fits motherboards with DDR3 memory slots and uses a 1.5 V supply, offering a straightforward upgrade path to improve multitasking and application responsiveness.

Advantages

This memory module provides a balance of capacity and frequency suitable for everyday computing, content creation, and light workstation tasks. The 8 GB capacity reduces paging to disk and helps maintain smoother performance when multiple applications are open. The 1866 MHz operating speed together with CAS latency 10 delivers responsive memory access for common operating systems and software. Standard 240-pin DIMM compatibility and the 1.5 V operating voltage ensure broad motherboard support for systems built around DDR3 technology.

Key specifications

• Capacity: 8 GB
• Type: DDR3
• Effective frequency: 1866 MHz
• CAS latency: 10
• Form factor: 240-pin DIMM
• Operating voltage: 1.5 V

How to use

Power off the computer and disconnect it from mains before installation. Open the case to access the motherboard memory slots. Align the 240-pin edge connector with the DDR3 slot notch and press firmly and evenly until the module latches into place. Ensure the module is seated correctly and the retention clips engage. After closing the case and reconnecting power, enter the system BIOS or UEFI to confirm the module is recognized and to verify memory frequency and timings if manual adjustment is required.

Recommendations

Install memory modules in matched pairs when the motherboard supports dual-channel operation to maximize bandwidth. Check motherboard documentation for supported memory speeds and recommended slot population. Avoid mixing modules with significantly different timings or voltages. Maintain adequate case ventilation and follow anti-static precautions during handling.
