DDR3L 1600 dual-channel kit

This 16 GB kit contains two 8 GB DDR3L SO-DIMMs rated at 1600 MT/s with CL11 latency. It is built for laptops that accept 204-pin DDR3L modules and benefit from matched pairs running in dual-channel mode.

Check your laptop manual

Verify that the system uses 204-pin DDR3L SO-DIMM slots and supports 1.35 V operation. The kit is unbuffered and non-ECC, so it will not work in servers or workstations that require registered or error-correcting memory.

Thermals and power

Running at 1.35 V, the modules draw less power than standard 1.5 V DDR3, helping battery life and reducing heat inside compact chassis. No heat spreader is fitted, so airflow from the laptop’s internal fan is sufficient for normal workloads.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy anything else to install it?

The kit includes two 8 GB 204-pin DDR3L SO-DIMM modules. No extra parts are required; insert them into the laptop's memory slots.

This is a dual-channel 16 GB kit — when would I choose it over a single 16 GB stick?

Choose the dual-channel kit when your laptop has two slots and you want the bandwidth gain of paired modules; a single stick runs in single-channel mode.

What does the 1600 speed rating mean once the modules are running in my laptop?

The modules operate at 1600 MT/s with CL11 latency at 1.35 V, delivering the standard DDR3L 1600 data rate for compatible systems.
