I bought this ram kit for $95 during the sale at Newegg a few weeks ago. I installed it in a Ryzen laptop (Dell G5) and it immediately recognized the RAM as dual-channel, 3200 MT/s, and with the expected and advertised timings (22-22-22-52) with a 1.2V voltage. Considering some of the previous posters' questions about secondary timings, rank, and device width, I post the following data from HWiNFO with the hope that it can help someone for this information was also unknown to me prior to purchase:
:
Refresh Cycle Time (tRFC):560T Number Of Ranks:1 Number Of Bank Groups:4 Device Width:8 bits Please note that my previous ram was also CL22; however, all G.Skill F4-3200C22D-32GRS timings are either the same or better than the stock ram. I am pleased with this purchase and feel it is a slick deal. |

However, most, if not all, mini-itx desktop motherboards use SODIMMS (this form factor). Additionally, every "mini" or "micro" PC I am aware of use this type of RAM. Think Intel NUC, Gigabyte BRIX, Asrock DeskMini, Lenovo Mxx Tiny series, etc. Not traditional "desktops" per se, but definitely not laptops...

There are actually a couple of things you would need to know about the computer you want to put RAM in. Form factor i.e. DIMM or SODIMM. Data Rate i.e. DDR3, DDR4 etc. ECC? Buffered or unbuffered, registered?
ECC is pretty rare in consumer grade PC's, but common in Dell business grade workstations.
If the tower you are asking about is a fairly recent typical consumer grade PC, it would be reasonable to guess that it requires Non-ECC DDR4 DIMMs. You should be able to look this up at the PC manufacturers support page for that particular PC, or even the manual - if you have it.
The reason I did the HyperX is because they're also DDR4 3200mhz but are Cl20 with 20-22-22 timings.
As for what someone else asked, these are 260 pin so-dimms, so find out what your system requires. They call these laptop memory because the smaller pin size versus desktop 288 pin style makes them more suited for only laptops, or possibly those tiny mini pc type things.
With DDR4 for laptops, this is pretty much as good as it gets for speed, latency and timings.

The main thing you want to look for whether it's 1Rx8 or 1Rx16 (x8 being the preferable number as it has a higher bandwidth) and that unfortunately, I haven't found much info on.
Edit: Looking at some photos on Amazon/Newegg, I see there are chips on only 1 side of the module which says to me that the ram is 1Rx16, but I could be wrong.
