Hiksemi Hiker 8GB 3200MHz DDR4 Desktop Memory

A no-frills 8GB DDR4 module at the speed most AM4 and LGA1200 builds actually run.

Quick Specs

• 8GB single DDR4 module, not a dual-channel kit
• 3200MHz rated speed once the XMP profile is enabled in BIOS
• Bare green PCB, no heat spreader and no lighting
• 288-pin DDR4 UDIMM for AM4 and Intel LGA1200 / LGA1700 DDR4 boards
• Backed by a Hiksemi Limited Lifetime warranty through AZonline

The sensible speed for a mainstream DDR4 build

3200MHz is the practical standard for DDR4. It is the speed Ryzen platforms are validated around, it is what most LGA1200 and DDR4 LGA1700 boards support without fuss, and it delivers most of the real-world gain over 2666MHz that a faster kit would. This Hiker module gives you that speed without paying for a heat spreader or lighting you do not want, which suits a workstation, a home office machine or a build hidden away in a cabinet. Enable the XMP profile in BIOS to reach 3200MHz; left alone, the board will run it at the JEDEC base speed instead.

Single stick, single channel

Buy this as one of a pair, not as a lone module. On its own it runs in single channel, roughly halving available memory bandwidth, and the cost is felt in 1% lows and in any system leaning on integrated graphics. 8GB by itself is also below the practical floor for modern gaming; 16GB is where a gaming machine should start. Two of these, or a proper 2x8GB kit, is the configuration to aim for. If you are already running one 8GB module and want to add a second, buying the same speed and capacity is exactly the right move, though mixing brands or batches can occasionally need a manual speed setting.

FEATURES:

• Factory XMP profile lifts the module from JEDEC base speed to the rated 3200MHz with one BIOS setting
• Bare PCB with no heat spreader, keeping the module low enough for compact coolers, slim cases and small-form-factor builds
• Low-power DDR4 operation at 1.2V nominal, rising to 1.35V under XMP as the standard specifies for 3200MHz
• Plain, unlit design that suits closed-panel workstations and machines where lighting is unnecessary or unwanted
• Fully tested before shipping and covered by a Limited Lifetime warranty
