Lenovo Essential G500 15.6 Inch Upgrade

This 16GB kit is built for the Lenovo Essential G500 15.6 Inch notebook. It contains two 8GB DDR3L SODIMM modules that match the factory socket layout. The memory runs at 1600MHz with CL11 timing at 1.35V. It is designed for owners who need the maximum supported capacity for this specific model.

Two-Module Kit Fills Both Slots

The package delivers two 204-pin sticks so both memory sockets are populated at once. Using a matched pair enables dual-channel operation on the platform. No heat spreaders are fitted, keeping the low-profile form factor required by the chassis. The kit is verified for the listed part numbers 59372006 and 59372004.

16GB Total Capacity for Heavy Multitasking

The 16GB total (2 x 8GB) provides headroom for many browser tabs, office suites and light creative work. It reaches the platform’s two-socket limit, so no further internal expansion is possible. Builders needing more memory would have to choose a different system. The DDR3L voltage helps reduce power draw compared to standard DDR3.

Questions about this item

Will the CL11 1.35 V DDR3L SODIMMs need any firmware updates or re-seating over time?

No firmware is involved; the modules are unbuffered, non-ECC DDR3L running at 1.35 V with CL11 timing. Reseating is only required if the laptop is moved frequently or the contacts oxidise.

What limit appears first when the Lenovo Essential G500 runs both 8 GB sticks at 1600 MHz continuously?

The platform caps total memory at 16 GB across its two 204-pin slots, so capacity is the hard ceiling; thermal throttling of the CPU or chipset typically occurs before the memory itself becomes a bottleneck.

How much extra heat and fan noise should I expect from the 2Rx8 DDR3L kit during all-day use?

DDR3L at 1.35 V draws less power than standard 1.5 V DDR3, so the additional heat is modest; the laptop’s existing cooling handles it without a noticeable rise in fan speed under normal workloads.
