Lenovo ThinkPad T450 SODIMM Upgrade

This 8 GB DDR3L module is built for the Lenovo ThinkPad T450 and installs in a 204-pin SO-DIMM slot. It runs at 1600 MHz with PC3L 12800 bandwidth and a CAS latency of 11. The stick operates at 1.35 V and uses an unbuffered, non-ECC design with 2Rx8 organisation.

Suits owners needing a single-slot 8 GB upgrade

The kit contains one 8 GB stick, so the ThinkPad T450 can reach its 16 GB maximum by filling both sockets. Buyers who want more storage or a different memory generation should look elsewhere, as this part is strictly DDR3L SO-DIMM. Systems requiring ECC or registered memory cannot use this module.

Deciding spec: DDR3L 1600 MHz 1.35 V SO-DIMM

The laptop must accept DDR3L at 1.35 V in a 204-pin SO-DIMM form factor; any other voltage or generation will not fit or boot. This single specification determines whether the upgrade works in the target machine.

Questions about this item

How much heat or power draw does the 1.35 V DDR3L module add during all-day use?

Running at 1.35 V the DDR3L stick draws less power and produces less heat than standard 1.5 V DDR3, so it stays cool inside the ThinkPad T450 during continuous workloads.

What must the laptop already have for this 204-pin SODIMM to work?

The ThinkPad T450 needs a free DDR3L SO-DIMM slot and BIOS support for 1600 MHz CL11 memory; the system ships with two sockets and supports up to 16 GB total.

Will this CL11 1600 MHz module run correctly alongside the original 1600 MHz stick in my T450?

Yes — matching speed, voltage and timing lets the new 8 GB module operate in dual-channel mode with the factory DIMM without down-clocking or instability.
