Kingston ValueRAM 16GB (DDR4-3200, CL22) Desktop RAM

Description

Build & Manufacturing Standards

ValueRAM is Kingston’s industry-standard memory line, delivering award-winning performance and legendary Kingston reliability. The KVR32N22D8/16 ships on a standard PCB with no heat spreader and no RGB — fitting Kingston’s ValueRAM philosophy of substance over aesthetics. Each 288-pin DIMM uses gold contact fingers for reliable electrical connection across thousands of insertion cycles. Operating temperature range is 0°C to +85°C, with storage from −55°C to +100°C.

Dual-Rank (2Rx8) Configuration

The KVR32N22D8/16 is a 2Rx8 dual-rank module based on sixteen 1G×8-bit FBGA components — eight chips per rank, two ranks per module. This dual-rank topology allows the memory controller to interleave between ranks, keeping one rank prepared while the other is being accessed. The result is improved effective memory bandwidth and reduced idle latency compared to single-rank alternatives at the same 16GB capacity, particularly in workloads with high memory access parallelism such as productivity applications, virtualization, and multi-threaded workloads.

Performance & Compatibility

The SPD is programmed to JEDEC standard DDR4-3200 timing of 22-22-22 at 1.2V, running at its rated speed natively on any compatible DDR4 desktop platform without any BIOS configuration. There is no XMP profile — the module is designed for maximum compatibility and zero-fuss deployment across a wide range of Intel and AMD DDR4 systems. The module is also TAA compliant, making it suitable for government and regulated procurement environments.

⚠️ No XMP on this module: DDR4-3200 is achieved via JEDEC specification natively — no BIOS tuning required. The module will also auto-downclock safely on platforms that don’t reach DDR4-3200.

ValueRAM vs KCP Series

The KVR prefix identifies this as Kingston’s retail ValueRAM line — tested for broad general compatibility across a wide range of motherboards. The KCP prefix identifies modules tested against specific OEM system configurations. Both carry Kingston’s lifetime warranty and JEDEC compliance; the distinction is primarily in the validation scope and intended deployment channel.

⚠️ Single stick = single channel: For dual-channel bandwidth, install a second KVR32N22D8/16 in your motherboard’s recommended paired DIMM slots. Refer to your board’s manual for the correct slot configuration.
