Lenovo G500 Memory Upgrade

This 16 GB kit contains two 8 GB DDR3L SODIMM modules designed specifically for the Lenovo Essential G500. It targets owners who need the maximum supported memory capacity for multitasking or memory-intensive applications. The modules run at 1600 MHz with CL11 timings and operate at the low 1.35 V standard.

Two-Slot Kit for Dual-Channel Operation

The G500 provides two SODIMM sockets and this kit fills both, enabling dual-channel bandwidth without mixing module sizes. Installation requires no tools beyond a screwdriver to access the memory compartment. The unbuffered, non-ECC design matches the laptop's consumer chipset requirements exactly.

Matched Pair Eliminates Compatibility Guesswork

Supplied as a tested pair, the sticks share identical 2Rx8 organisation and major-brand chipsets, reducing the risk of timing mismatches that can cause instability. The package includes only the two modules; no software, drivers or additional accessories are bundled. The manufacturer provides a limited lifetime warranty against defects.

Questions about this item

How does the 1.35V DDR3L voltage affect heat output during all-day operation?

The 1.35V DDR3L voltage reduces power draw compared to standard DDR3, resulting in lower heat generation during sustained use inside the Lenovo Essential G500.

Will the CL11 11-11-11 timing create a bottleneck during continuous heavy workloads?

CL11 timing at 1600 MHz is the rated specification for this kit; sustained throughput is limited by the DDR3L 1600 memory controller in the G500, not by the CAS latency alone.

Does the Lenovo Essential G500 need a specific BIOS version to recognise both 8GB sticks?

The kit is validated for the Lenovo Essential G500 which supports a maximum of 16GB across its two SODIMM sockets; no additional components are required beyond the laptop itself.
