8GB DDR3L SO-DIMM for laptop upgrades

This G.SKILL Ripjaws module provides 8GB of DDR3L memory in a 204-pin SO-DIMM form factor. It operates at 1600MHz with CL11 latency and a low 1.35V voltage. The unbuffered, non-ECC design suits standard notebook memory slots.

Suits laptops needing DDR3L 1600 at 1.35V

Ideal for owners of third- and fourth-generation Intel Core notebooks that specify DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) memory. Builders whose systems require a different voltage, pin count, speed grade, ECC or registered modules should select alternative memory.

The deciding spec is the 1.35V DDR3L voltage

This module runs at 1.35V rather than the standard 1.5V DDR3 level. A laptop that only accepts 1.5V DDR3 may not boot or run stably with this part, so confirming the exact voltage requirement is essential before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 1.35V rating prevent thermal throttling during all-day workloads?

The module runs at 1.35V ultra low voltage, so it consumes less power and generates less heat than standard 1.5V DDR3, helping the laptop stay cooler and maintain stability during extended use.

Does the SO-DIMM need a heat spreader to keep temperatures down under sustained load?

This Ripjaws module has no heat spreader; its low-voltage design and CL11 11-11-11-28 timings keep heat output low enough for typical laptop chassis airflow without extra cooling.

My laptop takes 204-pin DDR3L — is that the only requirement for this 8GB stick to work?

Yes, the stick is a 204-pin DDR3L SO-DIMM rated at 1600MHz (PC3L 12800) with 1.35V operation, matching the slot and voltage your laptop provides.
