HP 8GB (1x8GB) PC3-12800 DDR3, 1600MHz

The HP 8GB (1x8GB) PC3-12800 DDR3, 1600MHz module is a single-channel desktop/server memory module designed for systems that accept DDR3 DIMMs. It provides 8 gigabytes of system memory running at an effective frequency of 1600MHz (PC3-12800) and is intended to deliver stable, compatible performance for general-purpose computing, multitasking and light server workloads. The module follows DDR3 electrical and timing standards for straightforward integration into compatible motherboards and systems.

Advantages

This HP DDR3 8GB module offers a balance of capacity and frequency suitable for upgrading older desktop or server systems without changing platform architecture. It supports standard DDR3 timing and voltage characteristics, which helps maintain system stability and compatibility across a wide range of motherboards and HP Enterprise platforms. The single-module configuration allows incremental upgrades and straightforward installation.

Suitable for

• Upgrading memory in DDR3-compatible desktop PCs
• Increasing RAM capacity in entry-level or legacy servers
• Improving multitasking performance for office applications and web browsing
• Replacing or expanding modules in HP Enterprise systems that accept DDR3 DIMMs

Key specifications

• Capacity: 8 GB (single module)
• Type: DDR3 SDRAM
• Form factor: DIMM (standard desktop/server module)
• Effective frequency: 1600 MHz (PC3-12800)
• Operating voltage: standard DDR3 voltage (1.5 V typical)
• Single-channel configuration: 1x8GB

How to use

Power down the computer and disconnect it from the power source before installing the memory module. Open the system case following the manufacturers instructions, locate an empty compatible DDR3 DIMM slot, and align the notch on the module with the slot key. Insert the module firmly until the retaining clips snap into place. Close the case, reconnect power, and boot the system. Verify that the operating system and BIOS/UEFI recognize the new 8GB module and that the system reports the expected total memory.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, pair modules of the same capacity, frequency and timing when populating multiple slots. Check the motherboard or system manual for supported memory configurations, maximum capacity per slot and any slot population order. When mixing memory, use modules with matching voltage and timing specifications to reduce the likelihood of compatibility issues.
