  • JEDEC and RoHS compliant for warranty-safe upgrades

Single 4 GB DDR3 1600 SODIMM

This 4 GB DDR3 1600 CL11 module targets owners of HP Pavilion dv6 laptops that use DDR3 1600 memory. It delivers a straightforward capacity increase for systems limited to a single upgrade slot or for users adding to an existing stick. The 204-pin unbuffered SODIMM fits standard DDR3 laptop sockets without modification.

Steady CL11 latency at 1.5 V

Under sustained workloads the module maintains its rated CL11 timing at the JEDEC 1.5 V operating voltage. Non-ECC unbuffered operation keeps the signal path simple, so latency does not drift during extended multitasking or large-file editing sessions. The 1Rx8 organisation provides consistent bandwidth for typical productivity and media tasks.

Replaces a factory 2 GB or 4 GB stick

Swapping a 2 GB original module for this 4 GB unit doubles usable memory, which is worthwhile when the system runs near capacity during everyday use. If the laptop already holds a 4 GB stick, adding a second identical module enables dual-channel bandwidth, but this benefit only applies when the platform supports dual-channel operation with matched pairs. Builders needing more than 4 GB total should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Does the 1.5V DDR3 module run hot or draw extra power in an HP Pavilion dv6 that stays on all day?

Standard 1.5V DDR3 SODIMMs operate within JEDEC thermal limits; the 1Rx8 single-rank design keeps power draw modest during continuous use.

What must the laptop already have — free 204-pin slot and DDR3 1600 support — for this 4GB stick to work?

A vacant 204-pin SODIMM socket and BIOS that accepts PC3-12800 CL11 memory are required; the dv6 series using DDR3 1600 meets both.

Can I pair this 1600 CL11 module with slower DDR3 already in the dv6 without issues?

The system will clock all installed memory to the slowest module's speed and latency, so mixing is possible but reduces overall bandwidth.
