16 GB DDR4 3200 CL16 SODIMM for select Acer Aspire 5 laptops, 1.35 V unbuffered, lifetime warranty
This 16GB DDR4 3200 CL16 SODIMM adds memory to compatible Acer Aspire 5 laptops using a 260-pin unbuffered module at 1.35V. It suits owners who need more capacity for multitasking or heavier workloads on supported models.
The module replaces an existing stick when the system has a single slot and the manufacturer lists a maximum of 20GB or 24GB total. The jump is worthwhile when current memory limits browser tabs, virtual machines or creative applications.
Running at CL16 16-18-18 timings, the stick maintains its rated 3200 MHz speed under continuous load because all installed memory operates at the slowest module or CPU capability. Mixing with slower modules will reduce overall throughput to the lowest common denominator.
Measured against everything we stock in Model-Specific Memory Upgrades, at today’s prices. Recalculated every night.

Yes, the module is a 260-pin DDR4 SO-DIMM measuring 2.74 in and the laptop has one socket, so it installs directly without adapters.
Align the notch with the slot key, press the module in evenly until the gold edge contacts are fully hidden, then push down until both retention clips snap into the side notches.
All installed memory operates at the speed of the slowest module or the CPU limit; mixing capacities or timings can force the kit to run below 3200 MHz.
