DDR3L 1600 laptop memory kit

This G.SKILL kit provides 8GB of DDR3L memory in two 4GB SO-DIMM modules. It runs at 1600MHz with CL9 latency and a 1.35V operating voltage. The 204-pin unbuffered design fits standard laptop memory slots.

Upgraders with compatible DDR3L slots

The kit suits owners of laptops that accept DDR3L 1600 SO-DIMMs at 1.35V. It is not for buyers who need ECC error correction, registered modules, or capacities beyond 8GB. Systems requiring 1.5V DDR3 or newer DDR generations cannot use this memory.

1.35V ultra low voltage operation

The 1.35V rating matches the requirement of third- and fourth-generation Intel Core processors. This lower voltage reduces power draw and heat compared to standard 1.5V DDR3. Verify that your laptop specifically supports DDR3L at 1.35V before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How does the 1600 MHz speed translate to bandwidth in my laptop?

The kit delivers up to 12.8 GB/s per channel at DDR3L 1600, so typical workloads see higher sustained throughput than slower modules.

What does the DDR3L 1.35 V rating limit in practice?

It caps the operating voltage at 1.35 V, reducing power draw and heat compared with standard 1.5 V DDR3 while keeping CL9 timing.

Will the 204-pin SO-DIMM modules fit my laptop's memory slots?

Yes, each 4 GB stick uses the standard 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM form factor used by most compatible laptops.
