OWC 8GB DDR3L SODIMM for Lenovo IdeaPad

This OWC module provides an 8GB DDR3L upgrade built to JEDEC PC3L-12800 standard. It targets owners of Lenovo IdeaPad 300, 305 and 500 series notebooks listed in the compatibility data who want to increase memory capacity with a single SODIMM.

204-pin unbuffered non-ECC layout

The stick uses a 204-pin SODIMM edge connector with 2Rx8 organisation and no heat spreader. It runs at 1.35V, matching the low-voltage DDR3L requirement of the supported IdeaPad platforms, and installs in the usual laptop memory slot without extra clearance concerns.

DDR3L 1600 CL11 platform ceiling

The memory operates at 1600 MT/s with CL11 latency, which is the native speed ceiling for the DDR3L controller in these IdeaPad models. Builders needing higher bandwidth or lower latency than PC3L-12800 provides must choose a different platform, as this module cannot exceed the chipset limit.
