G.SKILL Ares Low Profile 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 MHz, CL9 Memory (XMP)

This G.SKILL Ares series memory kit provides 8 GB of total capacity, configured as a matched pair of two 4 GB modules. The kit is engineered to operate on the DDR3 standard at a frequency of 1600 MHz with CAS Latency 9 timings. It is intended for use in desktop systems, offering a direct upgrade path for improving multitasking performance and overall system responsiveness on compatible Intel and AMD platforms that support DDR3 memory.

The modules feature a low-profile design with a height of 33 mm, making them suitable for installation in compact cases or systems with large CPU coolers that may restrict memory clearance. A passive heat spreader is integrated for thermal management during operation. For simplified configuration, the memory supports Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) version 1.3, allowing users to apply the rated performance settings through the system BIOS. These DIMMs are unbuffered and non-ECC, aligning with standard consumer desktop specifications.
