HP G72 DDR3 SO-DIMM Kit

This 8GB kit contains two 4GB DDR3-1066 SO-DIMM modules built for HP G72 notebooks. It uses 204-pin unbuffered memory running at 1.5V with CL7 latency. The kit targets owners of compatible G72 models who need to reach the platform's 8GB maximum on a 64-bit operating system.

DDR3-1066 CL7 204-Pin Specification

The decisive specification is the DDR3-1066 (PC3-8500) speed with CL7 7-7-7 timing on a 204-pin SO-DIMM form factor. HP documents confirm the G72 memory bus may run at 1066 MHz depending on the installed processor, so faster DDR3-1333 modules will downclock to this speed.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Under sustained load the unbuffered 2Rx8 modules operate at the standard 1.5V without a heat spreader. The notebook's cooling solution manages thermals for the memory subsystem. A 32-bit operating system will recognise only 3.5GB or less of the installed 8GB capacity.

Questions about this item

Will the 1066 MHz speed run at that rate in my HP G72 or drop lower?

The HP G72 supports DDR3-1333 and DDR3-1066 modules, but the memory bus may run at 1066 MHz depending on the processor installed.

Does the PC3-8500 label limit bandwidth compared with PC3-10600 modules?

PC3-8500 is the 1066 MHz JEDEC rating; the notebook's chipset can accept faster PC3-10600 sticks but will clock them down to 1066 MHz.

Will the 204-pin SODIMM modules fit the two memory slots in the G72 chassis?

Yes, the kit contains two 204-pin DDR3 SODIMMs that match the G72's two SO-DIMM sockets.
