Capacity and Form Factor

This A-Tech module provides 8GB of DDR3 laptop memory in a 204-Pin SO-DIMM package. It operates at 1600MHz with a PC3-12800 rating and a CAS latency of 11. The stick runs at the standard 1.50V for DDR3 and is built as an unbuffered, non-ECC unit without a heat spreader.

Suitable Systems and Limits

The module is designed as a compatible replacement for the PNY MN8GSD31600 and fits laptops, notebooks, and all-in-one computers that accept DDR3 SO-DIMMs. Systems that require ECC or registered memory cannot use this unbuffered stick. Buyers whose platforms only support a different DDR generation or a different pin count should look elsewhere.

Deciding Specification

The 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM interface is the single detail that determines whether this module will physically fit and electrically function in a given machine. Verify that the target system specifies 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM support before ordering.

Questions about this item

Will the CL11 timing require any adjustment or replacement down the line?

CL11 is the factory-set CAS latency for this DDR3 1600 module; no timing changes are needed and the memory does not wear out in normal use.

What limit appears first when the 1.5 V module runs continuously at 1600 MHz?

The DDR3 1600 speed rating is the ceiling; sustained loads will not push the module beyond its specified 1600 MHz data rate.

How much heat or noise does the unbuffered SODIMM produce during all-day operation?

With no heat spreader and standard 1.5 V DDR3 power draw, the module runs silently and adds only minimal warmth inside the laptop chassis.
