NUC 11 Phantom Canyon Question

[Francisco12]

Hello i wanted to know if the intel nuc 11 phantom canyon, first of all if it has xmp profiles. And then if the crucial ballistix 3200mhz cl16 will work at 1.35v in this nuc.

No, this is a JEDEC only system. The best memory is JEDEC 3200 CL20 dual rank.

It is important for you to know that for pricing and availability, you will need to contact your reseller to get assistance with those inquiries. 

Hope this information is useful, if you need any additional information, please submit a new question as this thread will no longer be monitored.

In general you want to avoid 2 things when it comes to fast RAM on a system like this:

1. Single rank.

2. X16 chips.

This will be listed as 2RX8. Single rank and X16 chips are both cheaper to produce and usually show up in OEM laptops. You can look up a more detailed explanations online about dual rank and X8 chips but in short, both allow more memory operations to happen simultaneously instead of sequentially. The kit I listed above also runs at 3200 CL20 (lower is better) where most JDEDC kits will run at 3200 CL22.
