8GB DDR3 SO-DIMM upgrade

This 8GB DDR3 1600 CL11 SO-DIMM adds memory capacity to compatible laptops and small-form-factor systems. It uses a 204-pin interface and operates at 1.50V with Non-ECC unbuffered signal processing. The single-module design suits platforms with one available slot.

Low-voltage standard operation

The module runs at the standard 1.50V DDR3 voltage without requiring elevated power profiles. CL11 latency at 1600 MHz delivers typical access timing for DDR3-1600/PC3-12800 workloads. Passive components generate no fan noise and add minimal thermal load inside the chassis.

Verified platform list included

Kingston supplies a specific compatibility list covering select Alienware M11x, M17x and M18x models plus certain MSI and ZOTAC notebooks and motherboards. Builders with systems outside that list must verify support before purchase. No additional software, heat spreaders or installation tools are bundled.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 204-pin SO-DIMM and what step is often missed?

Align the notch on the module with the slot key, insert at an angle, then press down firmly until both side clips click — the click is the step people skip.

What maintenance or replacement will this 8GB DDR3 module need later?

No scheduled maintenance is required; replacement is only needed if a memory test reports errors or the laptop fails to boot with the module installed.

What limit appears first under sustained load with this CL11 1.50V kit?

The DDR3-1600 bandwidth ceiling of PC3-12800 is reached before thermal throttling becomes an issue on this unbuffered Non-ECC module.
