Dell G15 SODIMM Upgrade

This is a single 16 GB DDR5 4800 CL40 2Rx8 262-pin 1.1 V non-ECC SODIMM built for Dell G15 5520 5521 5525 and 5530 notebooks. It installs in the factory memory slot to add capacity without changing voltage or latency settings.

Buyers adding a second stick

The module suits owners of the listed G15 models who have a free SODIMM slot and want 16 GB more memory. It does not fit laptops that require ECC registered DIMMs or a different pin count, and it cannot be used in desktop DIMM sockets.

JEDEC DDR5 4800 CL40 1.1 V

The stick runs at the JEDEC-standard 4800 MT/s with CL40 timing at 1.1 V, the exact specification the compatible G15 platforms expect. Any system needing a higher speed grade or lower latency will not gain its rated performance from this part.

Questions about this item

Will the 1.1V DDR5 module run hot or draw extra power during long sessions in a G15 5525?

The SODIMM operates at the standard 1.1V JEDEC voltage for DDR5 4800, has no heat spreader, and is unbuffered, so thermal output and power draw stay within normal laptop limits.

Does my G15 5520 need a free 262-pin DDR5 slot and BIOS support for PC5-38400 CL40 memory to use this stick?

Yes, installation requires an open 262-pin DDR5 SO-DIMM slot; the laptop must accept 4800 MT/s CL40 2Rx8 modules at 1.1V, which the listed G15 models are designed for.

If I leave a slower DDR5 module in the second slot, will the 4800 CL40 2Rx8 stick downclock to match it in a G15 5530?

DDR5 memory controllers typically run all populated slots at the lowest common speed and latency, so the 4800 CL40 module will operate at the slower module's rated frequency and timings.
