Wattage usage of DDR3 RAM?


PoWn3d_0704

Recommended Posts

I'm working on a custom case mod that is out of this world, and I need to know the exact wattage pull of a single stick of DDR3-1600 Ram at 1.5v.

 

The RAM I have is actually NOT Corsair Ram, but I figured there is now better fan-base than Corsair, so I posted this question here.

 

-Love Corsair, but none of their parts seem to be in my new build...

The JEDEC spec for DDR3 memory at 1.5 Volts would provide a max of about 8-11 watts per module. But memory is fluid and how it uses power with the system idle in Windows it may use somewhere in the neighborhood 2-4 watts per module depending on the CPU and Chipset. And can rise to Max current under high memory read and write.
