PNY DDR4 Desktop Memory 8GB 3600MHz CL? 28800 (MD8GD4360018XR-SI)

PNY DDR4 8GB 3600MHz desktop memory module provides a single 8GB DIMM operating at 3600MHz with a DDR4 interface and effective throughput of 28800 MT/s. Engineered for mainstream desktops and workstations, this module aims to improve multitasking capacity and application responsiveness. The compact DIMM format is compatible with standard desktop motherboards that support DDR4 memory and 3600MHz operating speeds.

Advantages

This 8GB DDR4 module offers increased memory bandwidth and lower latency compared with lower-frequency alternatives, supporting smoother performance in memory-intensive tasks. The single-module configuration simplifies upgrades and enables users to expand capacity without replacing existing DIMMs. The module follows standard DDR4 form factors and electrical specifications, ensuring broad compatibility with contemporary desktop systems and typical BIOS/UEFI memory profiles.

Suitable for

• Upgrading mainstream desktop systems to improve multitasking and application responsiveness
• Gaming rigs requiring higher memory frequency for better frame stability in certain titles
• Content creation workflows such as photo editing and light video editing
• Office and productivity PCs running multiple applications and browser tabs

Key specifications

• Form factor: 288-pin DIMM for desktop motherboards
• Memory type: DDR4
• Module capacity: 8GB per DIMM
• Operating frequency: 3600MHz
• Effective throughput: 28800 MT/s
• CAS latency: CL value consistent with module rating

How to use

Install the module into an empty compatible DIMM slot on the desktop motherboard after powering off the system and disconnecting the power cable. Align the notch on the module with the slot key, press evenly until the retention clips snap into place, and then reconnect power and boot to the system BIOS/UEFI to confirm the memory is recognized at the correct frequency. If required, enable the appropriate XMP/DOCP memory profile in BIOS/UEFI to achieve the rated 3600MHz operation, following the motherboard manufacturer's instructions.

Usage recommendations

For optimal system stability, use identical modules in matching slots when populating dual- or quad-channel configurations. Verify motherboard memory QVL and update BIOS/UEFI to the latest version if you encounter compatibility or stability issues. Handle the DIMM using ESD precautions and avoid touching the gold contacts.
