OWC 16GB DDR5 SODIMM for Lenovo LOQ

This OWC module delivers 16GB of DDR5 memory rated at 5200MHz with CL42 latency. It is built specifically for Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8 and 16IRH8 laptops. The 262-pin SODIMM runs at 1.1V and uses a 1Rx8 unbuffered non-ECC design. It suits owners of those models who want a straightforward capacity increase.

JEDEC-standard DDR5 at 5200MHz sustained

The memory operates at the JEDEC-defined PC5-41600 speed with a CL42 timing profile. Because it follows the official standard, it maintains the rated frequency and latency during extended workloads without requiring manual tuning. The 1.1V operating voltage keeps power draw consistent across long sessions. Builders who need speeds beyond the JEDEC baseline should look elsewhere.

262-pin unbuffered stick without heat spreader

The module uses a standard 262-pin SODIMM edge connector that fits the LOQ memory slots directly. No heat spreader is fitted, so the board relies on the laptop’s internal airflow for cooling. The single-rank 1Rx8 layout keeps the electrical load light for the memory controller. Systems that require registered or ECC memory cannot use this stick.

Questions about this item

How much power does this 1.1 V DDR5 module draw when the Lenovo LOQ runs all day?

The module operates at 1.1 V, the standard JEDEC voltage for DDR5 SODIMMs, so power draw stays within the laptop's designed thermal envelope during continuous use.

Does my Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8 need a free 262-pin SODIMM slot to install this 16 GB upgrade?

Yes, the upgrade requires one vacant 262-pin DDR5 SODIMM slot; the LOQ 15IRH8 and 16IRH8 both use this form factor for memory expansion.

Will this CL42 5200 MHz stick run reliably alongside the original memory already in my LOQ 16IRH8?

The module meets JEDEC DDR5 5200 CL42 specifications, so it will down-clock automatically to match the system's existing memory speed and timings.
