Kit purpose

This 32GB DDR4 SO-DIMM kit delivers two 16GB modules for notebooks that accept 260-pin DDR4 memory. It targets owners of 6th Generation Intel Core i5 and i7 laptops who need the maximum supported capacity for heavy multitasking or content creation. Builders working with desktop motherboards or systems limited to 16GB per slot cannot use these modules.

Upgrade scope

The kit replaces lower-capacity or slower DDR4 SO-DIMMs and runs at 3000 MT/s with CL16 timings of 16-18-18-39 at 1.20V. Auto-overclocking applies the rated speed on compatible notebooks without BIOS changes. The jump is worthwhile when the platform supports DDR4 3000 and the workload benefits from 32GB rather than 16GB or 8GB configurations.

Sustained behaviour

Unbuffered operation and the absence of a heat spreader mean thermal performance depends on the laptop chassis airflow. At 1.20V the modules maintain the rated 3000 MT/s speed under continuous load within the notebook thermal envelope. Systems with restricted ventilation may see the memory controller throttle speeds to preserve stability during extended sessions.

Questions about this item

Does the 260-pin SO-DIMM form factor fit a standard DDR4 laptop slot?

Yes, the 260-pin DDR4 SO-DIMM design matches the standard slot used by compatible 6th Generation Intel Core i5 and i7 notebooks.

Do I need to change BIOS settings to reach 3000 MT/s with CL16 16-18-18-39 timings?

No, the kit features auto-overclocking on supported notebooks so it configures to DDR4 3000 CL16 without manual BIOS changes.

Will the modules need active cooling or thermal pad replacement over time?

The modules have no heat spreader and run at 1.20 V, so they rely on the notebook's existing airflow and require no extra cooling maintenance.
