Specifications

Module configuration
Memory type	DDR4, 288-pin DIMM (desktop)
Kit	8 GB as a single 8 GB module
Channels	One module fills one channel. On a two-slot board that is single-channel operation until a second module goes in the other channel. The usual reason a machine feels slow after a memory upgrade.
Speed	2400 or 2666 MT/s depending on batch, 19.2 or 21.3 GB/s per channel. Both are JEDEC bins, so the board trains them from SPD with nothing enabled in firmware.
CAS latency / timings	JEDEC bins — the module carries its own JEDEC SPD profile and the board trains it from that directly on every DDR4 platform. CAS latency in nanoseconds is CL × 2000 ÷ MT/s: CL17–CL19 at 2400 MT/s is 14.2–15.8 ns.
Operating voltage	1.2 V
Profile	None to enable. DDR4-2400 and DDR4-2666 are both JEDEC bins, so the rated speed is the SPD speed: the board trains it with nothing switched on in firmware. That is what makes this line the safe answer for a locked OEM or office board that ignores Intel XMP 2.0 and its AMD equivalents (DOCP, A-XMP, AMP) entirely.
JEDEC fallback	There is nothing to fall back to. The JEDEC bin is the rated bin. A kit that only reaches its rated speed through a profile has a slower JEDEC default underneath it; this one does not.
Design	Gold anodised spreader. At 1.2 V there is not much heat to move; it is there for handling and appearance more than thermals.

More specifications

Platform support & assurance
Fits	AM4 and DDR4 Intel desktop boards. Worth most on Ryzen 3000/5000, where 3600 lines up 1:1 with FCLK; on Intel DDR4 there is no fabric ratio, so 3200 → 3600 is worth a few percent, not a step change. Check yours.
Does not fit	AM5, LGA1851 or any DDR5 board · laptops (SODIMM)
Condition	New. Seated, POSTed at the SPD default and pattern-tested before dispatch (the process)
Availability	A physical unit count appears here only when the warehouse ledger holds one for this kit. Where none is shown we hold no count, and we print no estimate in its place, ask us and we check the shelf before you pay.
Product photography	The images on this page are the ones we hold for this line, published as they are. There is no photograph of the exact unit that would ship to you, and where we hold no photograph of a configuration we show none rather than a stock image of a different module.
Warranty	Two years from the date of purchase, handled directly by Flowfinds Solutions Kft. Covers defects in materials and function; not physical damage, overclocking beyond the module's specification, or modification. Your statutory rights are unaffected, EU consumers keep the two-year legal guarantee of conformity, UK consumers their Consumer Rights Act 2015 rights. Full terms.

Engineering notes

Speed you can
actually use.

The controller is the cap

Intel 8th to 10th generation non-K processors on H and B chipsets are specified at DDR4-2666 and will not run higher. Most locked OEM boards are the same. In one of those machines a DDR4-3200 kit downclocks to 2666 and you paid for the difference.

SPD boot, no profile

2400 and 2666 are JEDEC bins. The board reads SPD and trains, nothing to enable in firmware, nothing to fail at boot. That matters on business desktops whose firmware has no memory menu at all.

1.2 V

JEDEC rail voltage. Lower power draw and lower heat than a 1.35 V performance profile, which is the correct trade in a small OEM chassis with one exhaust fan.

Two 8s beat one 16

Two 8 GB modules populate both channels: 2 × 21.3 GB/s = 42.6 GB/s at 2666. One 16 GB module gives half of that. Same capacity, same price class, twice the bandwidth, and an iGPU machine feels the difference most, because the graphics share the same bus.

Batch bin

Whether a given batch is 2400 or 2666 is stated as exactly that on the specification table rather than assumed. Ask before ordering if it decides the purchase.

Where this line is the wrong answer

Three machines that should buy something else.

An unlocked K-series or a Ryzen with DOCP

If the firmware has a memory menu and the controller is not capped, buying a 2666 bin throws away the headroom you already paid the board for. The DDR4-3200 or DDR4-3600 lines are the honest answer, and on Ryzen 3000/5000 the 3600 line is worth more than the price difference because of the fabric ratio.

Anything that needs more than 16 GB in one slot

This line stops at 16 GB per module. A two-slot machine therefore tops out at 32 GB and a board with an empty pair cannot be taken further later. If 32 GB in one stick is the requirement, the DDR4-2400 Workstation line carries a 32 GB module; if the total has to be higher again, it is a DDR5 platform question, not a DDR4 one.

A machine that needs a stated CAS latency

We read the SPD of the batch that would ship to you and give you its CL before you order. If a validated timing set is part of the requirement, a rendering node with a signed configuration, a resale build with a spec sheet. Buy a line whose figures we can state, or ask us and we will read the SPD of the batch that would ship to you before you order.

Buying more than one

Ten cost ten times
what one costs.

There is no volume discount ladder in our catalogue, so this is the multiplication written out rather than a tier structure designed to make a bigger number look like a saving. What quantity does change is supply, consistency and replacement stock — those terms are on the trade page.
