Laptop memory kit for older Intel platforms

This G.SKILL Ripjaws kit provides 8GB of DDR3L memory in a matched pair of 4GB modules. It is built for laptops that accept 204-pin SO-DIMM slots and run at 1.35V. The dual-channel design suits everyday workloads on compatible third- and fourth-generation Intel Core systems.

Voltage and speed must match the notebook

The modules operate at 1.35V and run at DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) with CL11 11-11-11-28 timings. If the laptop requires 1.5V DDR3 or a different speed grade, this kit will not work correctly. Verify the existing memory voltage and frequency before ordering.

Straightforward SO-DIMM installation

Insert each 204-pin module into an empty slot until the side clips lock. No heat spreader means low clearance, but the exposed PCB can be damaged by excessive force. The most common issue is mixing 1.35V sticks with 1.5V modules, which prevents the system from posting.

Questions about this item

What does the DDR3L 1600 rating mean for actual bandwidth in my laptop?

The kit is rated at 1600 MHz, delivering up to 12.8 GBps bandwidth per channel for operating systems and applications.

Will the 204-pin SO-DIMM interface work with my DDR3 slot and what speed does it cap at?

The 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM fits DDR3 laptop slots and runs at the rated 1600 MHz speed with CL11 timing.

What physical space and voltage do the two 4 GB modules need to install?

Each module is a standard 204-pin SO-DIMM without a heat spreader, requiring 1.35 V ultra-low voltage for third- and fourth-gen Intel Core laptops.
