16GB DDR3L SODIMM kit for ThinkPad T540p

This 16GB kit contains two 8GB DDR3L SODIMM modules rated at 1600MHz with CL11 timings. It operates at 1.35V and uses unbuffered, non-ECC chips in a 2Rx8 configuration. The 204-pin form factor matches the memory slots in the Lenovo ThinkPad T540p notebook.

Suits T540p owners filling both slots to the 16GB

Builders upgrading a Lenovo ThinkPad T540p to the full 16GB capacity supported across its two sockets will use this kit. Buyers who need a single 8GB module for a partial upgrade or who require ECC registered memory for a workstation platform should look at a different part.

DDR3L 1600 CL11 at 1.35V in 204-pin SODIMM

The decisive specification is the DDR3L 1600MHz speed grade combined with CL11 latency and 1.35V operation on a 204-pin SODIMM. This exact electrical and physical profile is required for stable operation in the ThinkPad T540p; modules with other voltages, speeds or pin counts will not function correctly.

Questions about this item

My ThinkPad T540p has two SODIMM slots — does this 2×8 GB kit fill both so I don’t need extra modules?

Yes, the kit provides two 8 GB sticks and the T540p supports a maximum of 16 GB across its two slots, so this fills the system completely.

I plan to keep the original 4 GB stick that came with my T540p — will this 16 GB kit work alongside it?

No, the T540p only has two slots and this kit already occupies both, so the original module must be removed.

After installing both sticks, how can I confirm the memory is running at the rated 1600 MHz with CL11 timing?

Open Task Manager’s Performance tab or run CPU-Z; both will show 1600 MHz speed and 11-11-11 timings when the kit is operating correctly.
