Built for X230 Tablet

This 16 GB kit is designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkPad X230 Tablet series. It contains two 8 GB SODIMM modules that install directly into the 204-pin slots of that platform.

Dual-module convenience

The matched pair delivers the full 16 GB capacity in a single upgrade step. Each stick runs at 1600 MHz with CL11 timing at 1.35 V, so the system can operate in dual-channel mode without mixing modules.

Ideal for X230 Tablet owners

Buyers needing a straightforward memory refresh for this exact model will find a compatible kit. Builders working on other laptops or desktops should look elsewhere because the SODIMM form factor and DDR3L voltage are tailored to the X230 Tablet platform.

Questions about this item

Will the 1.35 V DDR3L modules need any voltage adjustment when they are installed in the ThinkPad X230 Tablet?

No adjustment is required; the sticks run at the standard 1.35 V DDR3L voltage supported by the X230 Tablet platform.

What is the first limitation that appears when the 2Rx8 1600 MHz CL11 kit is run continuously at full load?

The CAS latency of CL11 at 1600 MHz sets the timing ceiling before any thermal throttle occurs, since the modules have no heat spreader.

How much heat and noise do the two unbuffered SODIMMs produce during all-day operation?

They generate only modest warmth and zero audible noise because they are passive, unbuffered DDR3L parts with no fans or moving components.
