Single 8GB DDR3L SODIMM module

This OWC 8GB DDR3L 1600 CL11 2Rx8 204-pin 1.35V Non-ECC SODIMM is built for HP EliteBook 720 G2 725 G2 725 G3 740 G1 and 740 G2 laptops. It plugs directly into the factory memory slot and meets JEDEC PC3L-12800 specifications. The module is unbuffered and uses 1.35 V low-voltage operation.

Replaces a smaller DDR3L stick

If the laptop shipped with 4 GB or a single lower-capacity module, this 8 GB upgrade doubles the available memory for multitasking and larger workloads. The jump is worth it when the system currently runs a single channel or hits the memory ceiling during everyday tasks. Buyers who need more than 8 GB total capacity or who require ECC error correction should look elsewhere.

Limited by DDR3L 1600 bus speed

The DDR3L interface tops out at 1600 MT/s with CL11 latency, so bandwidth is fixed by the memory controller in the supported EliteBook models. No tighter timings or higher frequencies are possible on this platform. Systems that only accept 1.5 V DDR3 or that need registered DIMMs cannot use this module.

Questions about this item

Will this 204-pin DDR3L SODIMM fit the memory slot in my HP EliteBook 740 G2?

Yes, the module uses the standard 204-pin DDR3L SODIMM form factor required by the EliteBook 740 G2 and the other listed models.

What is the correct way to seat the module so the laptop recognises the full 8GB capacity?

Insert the SODIMM at an angle until the gold contacts are fully hidden, then press down firmly until both side clips click into the notches on the module.

Does this 1.35V DDR3L module require any special cooling or periodic replacement?

No, it runs at the standard 1.35V without a heat spreader and is designed to last the lifetime of the laptop under normal use.
