  • 260-pin SO-DIMM fits laptops, all-in-ones and NAS units
  • JEDEC-compliant, RoHS-certified module protects existing warranty

Capacity and Form Factor

This module provides 16GB of DDR4 memory in a 260-pin SO-DIMM format designed for laptops, all-in-one systems, and NAS devices. It operates at 3200MHz with a CL22 latency and runs at the standard 1.2V voltage. The unbuffered, non-ECC design matches JEDEC specifications for broad compatibility.

Thermals and Power

The module draws power at the standard DDR4 voltage of 1.2V without requiring a heat spreader. Passive cooling relies on the host system's internal airflow during normal operation. Power consumption scales with the 3200MHz data rate and CL22 timing profile under typical workloads.

Compliance and Support

The memory is 100% compliant with JEDEC standards and ROHS directives, ensuring a warranty-safe upgrade for supported devices. OWC validates every module in-house and backs it with a limited lifetime warranty that includes free technical support. An advanced replacement program is available to minimise downtime if an issue arises.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 260-pin DDR4 SODIMM and what step is often missed?

Align the notch with the slot key, press firmly until both side clips click, then verify the module sits flat; the step often missed is pushing hard enough to fully engage the clips.

Will this 16GB CL22 module need any maintenance or replacement later?

No scheduled maintenance is required; the module is solid-state with no moving parts, so replacement is only needed if a fault develops or capacity needs change.

What limit appears first when this 3200MHz RAM runs under sustained load?

The CL22 CAS latency and 1.2V JEDEC voltage set the timing and thermal envelope; sustained heavy workloads will hit latency limits before voltage or temperature constraints.
