8GB DDR3L SODIMM for Lenovo Yoga 500

This 8 GB DDR3L module runs at 1600 MHz with CL11 timing at 1.35 V. It is built as a single 204-pin SO-DIMM for the Lenovo Yoga 500-14ACL, 500-14ACZ, 500-14IBD and 500-14IHW. The unbuffered, non-ECC design uses major-brand chips in a 2Rx8 configuration. It fits the sole memory slot in those notebooks.

Sustained load behaviour

DDR3L 1.35 V operation reduces heat output compared with standard 1.5 V DDR3 during long sessions. The CL11 11-11-11 timings deliver steady throughput for everyday multitasking and office workloads. Without a heat spreader the module relies on the laptop’s internal airflow, which is sufficient for the rated speed. Stability is maintained across extended use in the validated Yoga 500 platforms.

Upgrade context

The Yoga 500 series supports a maximum of 8 GB in one socket, so this module fills the full capacity in a single step. It replaces any smaller DDR3L SODIMM already installed, eliminating the need for a second stick. The jump is worthwhile when the system currently has 4 GB or less and the user wants the highest supported memory ceiling. Buyers needing more than 8 GB or a second module cannot use this platform.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power does the 1.35V DDR3L module draw when the Yoga 500 runs all day?

At 1.35 V the DDR3L SODIMM runs cooler and draws less power than standard 1.5 V DDR3, keeping thermals low during continuous use.

What else do I need to install this 204-pin SODIMM in my Lenovo Yoga 500?

Only a free 204-pin DDR3L slot; the Yoga 500-14ACL, 500-14ACZ, 500-14IBD and 500-14IHW each have one socket supporting up to 8 GB.

Will this CL11 1600 MHz stick work alongside the original memory in my Yoga 500?

The laptop has a single memory socket, so this 8 GB module replaces the existing stick rather than running beside it.
