Kingston Value 8GB (DDR4-3200, CL22) Desktop RAM

Description

Build & Configuration

The KCP432NS6/8 is an 8GB DDR4-3200 (PC4-25600) unbuffered, non-ECC U-DIMM running at 1.2V in a single-rank x16 configuration on a 288-pin form factor. It carries no heat spreader — in keeping with Kingston’s value-tier design philosophy — and operates within standard DDR4 thermal envelopes without requiring additional airflow. The single-rank x16 topology is the most commonly deployed configuration for mainstream desktop memory and ensures broad motherboard compatibility.

Performance Profile

At CL22 and 3200MHz, this module sits in the same performance bracket as comparable JEDEC-standard sticks from ADATA and others at this speed grade. There is no XMP profile — the module runs at its rated 3200MHz natively via JEDEC specification, so no BIOS configuration is needed to achieve advertised speeds. The 288-pin DIMM design delivers dependable performance with reliable access to data across a wide range of workloads.

⚠️ No XMP on this module: Speed is achieved through JEDEC compliance, not an XMP profile. This simplifies deployment but means there is no overclocking headroom. What you see is what you get — and for most business and productivity use cases, that’s exactly the point.

Compatibility

Kingston memory is designed, manufactured, and rigorously tested to meet the exact specifications of each brand-name system, and is guaranteed to be compatible across a wide range of platforms. The KCP432NS6/8 is compatible with mainstream Intel and AMD DDR4 desktop motherboards. As a single 8GB stick it can be used standalone or paired with a second module in a dual-channel configuration — check your motherboard manual for the correct slot pairing.

⚠️ Single stick = single channel: For full dual-channel bandwidth, install a second identical module in the appropriate paired slot on your motherboard. Refer to your board’s manual for the recommended configuration.
