8GB DDR3 1600 SODIMM

This 8GB DDR3 1600 CL11 module uses the 204-pin SO-DIMM form factor and runs at 1.5V. It is built to JEDEC PC3-12800 standards and carries OWC part number 1S6D32R808GB. The stick is unbuffered, non-ECC and has no heat spreader.

Laptops, mini PCs and NAS units needing DDR3 1600

The module fits laptops, all-in-one systems, mini PCs and NAS devices that accept DDR3 1600 SO-DIMMs. It will not work in systems that require registered or ECC memory. Buyers whose hardware needs a different voltage, pin count or DDR generation should choose another module.

1.5V DDR3 voltage requirement

The single specification that decides compatibility is the 1.5V DDR3 voltage combined with the 204-pin SO-DIMM interface. Only systems designed for 1.5V DDR3 1600 unbuffered non-ECC modules can use this upgrade.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 204-pin SODIMM and what step causes problems?

Align the notch with the slot key, insert at an angle, then press down firmly until both side clips click into place.

What maintenance or replacement will this 8GB DDR3 module need later?

No scheduled maintenance is required; replace only if a memory test reports errors or capacity becomes insufficient.

What limit appears first during sustained use of this CL11 1.5V DDR3 stick?

The CL11 latency at 1600 MHz sets the throughput ceiling before thermal or voltage limits are reached.
