This Samsung DDR4-2400 UDIMM, with its 16GB capacity and unbuffered Non-ECC design, is optimized for mainstream desktop platforms where it excels in gaming, content creation, and productivity workloads. The dual-rank x8 configuration enhances memory interleaving for improved bandwidth efficiency, while the modest CL17 latency ensures stable, responsive performance for everyday computing tasks.
1. The 16GB capacity comfortably handles modern gaming and content creation workloads, preventing stutters when multiple browser tabs, a demanding title, and streaming software run side by side.
2. DDR4 technology delivers refined power efficiency and higher clock ceilings over previous generations, keeping your system stable during extended rendering or all-day gaming sessions.
3. Unbuffered UDIMM design eliminates the extra latency of registered memory, giving competitive gamers snappier input-to-display response and smoother frame delivery in CPU-bound scenarios.
4. Dual Rank x8 organization interleaves memory accesses across two internal ranks, boosting minimum frame rates and multitasking fluidity when your stream, voice chat, and game all demand bandwidth at once.
5. CL17 latency strikes a responsive balance at 2400MT/s, ensuring quick data retrieval that translates into visibly reduced hitching during texture-heavy open-world gameplay.
As a desktop memory module, the Samsung M378A2K43CB1-CRC is engineered to eliminate the bottlenecks that frustrate PC enthusiasts and professionals. This 16GB DDR4 UDIMM operates at 1.2V, which directly translates to cooler, more power-efficient performance during marathon gaming sessions or all-night 4K video renders, reducing thermal stress on your entire system. Its dual-rank x8 organization leverages interleaving to serve data to the CPU with minimal wait states, so when you're navigating an open-world AAA title, texture pop-in fades and frame delivery becomes notably smoother. The CL17 latency keeps command response tight, meaning every click in a real-time strategy game or timeline scrub in DaVinci Resolve feels instantaneous. For content creators working with multi-layered Premiere Pro projects, the native 2400MT/s bandwidth and 16GB capacity prevent swapping slowdowns, allowing fluid playback even with multiple Chrome tabs, asset libraries, and encoding tasks running simultaneously. Because it’s a standard unbuffered, non-ECC design with a universal 288-pin layout, this module guarantees instant motherboard compatibility and rock-solid stability straight out of the box—no BIOS tweaking required. This isn’t just a spec sheet; it’s a promise of uninterrupted focus, whether you're lining up the final kill shot or hitting an export deadline.
Desktop Memory Identified
This is a standard 16GB DDR4-2400 Non-ECC Unbuffered DIMM (288-pin, CL17, Dual Rank x8). It is ideally suited for consumer desktop platforms.
Gaming Build
A dual‑channel configuration is critical for gaming performance. Install a matched pair of these 16GB modules for a 32GB kit (2x16GB) to eliminate bandwidth bottlenecks and improve frame-time consistency. For budget‑conscious 1080p builds, a single 16GB stick can serve as a placeholder, but always plan to populate pairs.
Content Creation
Video editing and 3D rendering benefit from large capacity and multi‑rank interleaving. Populate four slots with these dual‑rank DIMMs for a 64GB (4x16GB) quad‑channel‑like interleaved setup on mainstream platforms, or build a 32GB (2x16GB) base with headroom. This density handles 4K timelines and complex scenes without swapping, while the 1.2V spec keeps thermal overhead modest.
General Productivity
For office multitasking, heavy browsing, and Outlook-plus-Excel workflows, a single 16GB module is the sweet spot of cost and performance. It provides ample headroom over 8GB and enables a future dual‑channel upgrade to 32GB by simply adding an identical stick later.
Rigorously tested, desktop-compatible UDIMM for Intel 100/200/300 Series, AMD AM4, and similar DDR4 systems.
Q: Can I mix this M378A2K43CB1-CRC with other memory modules of different brands or speeds?
A: Mixing modules may force the system to run at the lowest common speed and timings. For best stability and performance, we strongly recommend using identical modules throughout.
Q: Is this memory compatible with my system?
A: This UDIMM is designed for desktops with DDR4 support, like Intel 100/200/300 series or AMD AM4 platforms. Confirm your motherboard accepts 288-pin, non-ECC DDR4 and check its QVL.
Q: What is the recommended DIMM population order for optimal performance?
A: On dual-channel boards, populate slots A2 and B2 first to enable dual-channel mode and minimize signal reflection. This yields optimal bandwidth. Refer to your motherboard manual for exact slot naming.
Q: Does this module support overclocking or XMP profiles?
A: This is a JEDEC-compliant DDR4-2400 module without an XMP profile. It operates at default 2400MT/s. Overclocking is not officially supported and may void your warranty.
Q: What warranty and typical failure rate can I expect?
A: The Samsung M378A2K43CB1-CRC includes a 1-year warranty. Typical annual failure rate is very low, around 0.2–0.5%, due to rigorous testing and high-quality DRAM manufacture.
