System-Specific DDR3 SO-DIMM Kit

This 8 GB kit contains two 4 GB DDR3 1066 MHz SO-DIMM modules built for MSI A6400, A6500 and A7200 series notebooks. Each stick uses a 204-pin unbuffered non-ECC design with CL7 7-7-7 timing at 1.5 V. The matched pair enables dual-channel operation on supported platforms.

Matched Pair Enables Dual Channel

The two modules are tested together so the notebook can run in dual-channel mode, doubling memory bandwidth compared with a single stick. CAS latency of CL7 and 7-7-7 timings reduce access delay for everyday workloads. No heat spreaders are fitted, keeping the low-profile form factor required by thin chassis.

Direct Notebook Installation

Installation is a standard SO-DIMM slot insertion; no tools or firmware updates are required. The 1.5 V rating matches the original specification for these MSI series. Buyers needing more than 8 GB total capacity or ECC error correction should look elsewhere, as this kit is limited to two unbuffered non-ECC modules.

Questions about this item

Will the 2Rx8 DDR3 SODIMM modules need any firmware updates or chipset-level maintenance over time?

No firmware or chipset maintenance is required for these unbuffered DDR3 modules; they operate as standard JEDEC memory with no updatable components.

What thermal or stability limit appears first when the CL7 1066 MHz kit runs continuously at full load?

The 1.5 V DDR3 rating and lack of heat spreaders mean the memory controller's thermal throttle point will be reached before the modules exceed their specified operating envelope.

How much extra heat and power do the two 4 GB sticks add when the notebook runs all day?

Each 1.5 V DDR3 SODIMM draws only a few watts under load, so the combined thermal contribution is minimal and does not change the notebook's fan behaviour.
