Overview
HyperX HX430C15PB3/16 is a 2G x 64-bit (16GB) DDR4-3000 CL15 SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) 2Rx8, memory module, based on sixteen 1G x 8-bit FBGA components per module. Each module supports Intel(RegTM) Extreme Memory Profiles (Intel(RegTM) XMP) 2.0.
Each module has been tested to run at DDR4-3000 at a low latency timing of 15-17-17 at 1.35V. The SPDs are programmed to JEDEC standard latency DDR4-2400 timing of 17-17-17 at 1.2V. Each 288-pin DIMM uses gold contact fingers.
Description
The Kingston HyperX Predator HX430C15PB3/16 is a 16GB DDR4 desktop memory module developed for users who want fast and responsive system memory. It provides a rated DDR4-3000 speed with CL15-17-17 timing at 1.35V when using the XMP performance profile.
This module is built as a 2G x 64-bit 16GB DIMM using a 288-pin interface. The memory module is specified as 2Rx8 and uses gold contact fingers. Its black aluminium heat spreader is designed to improve heat dissipation and gives the module a distinctive Predator design suited to performance-oriented desktop builds.
Intel XMP 2.0 support provides predefined memory profiles for compatible systems. The primary XMP profile is DDR4-3000 CL15-17-17 at 1.35V, while a second XMP profile provides DDR4-2666 CL15-17-17 at 1.35V. The standard JEDEC profile is DDR4-2400 CL17-17-17 at 1.2V.
The module is suitable for compatible DDR4 desktop systems used for gaming, multitasking, content creation and other memory-intensive applications. System compatibility depends on the motherboard, processor and memory configuration, so the motherboard manufacturer's supported memory specifications should be checked before installation.
