Targeted Upgrade

This OWC 8GB DDR3L SODIMM is built for HP EliteBook 840 G1, 840 G2, 850 G1 and 850 G2 laptops. It delivers a single 8GB module running at 1600 MHz with CL11 latency at 1.35V. The non-ECC, unbuffered design matches the factory specification for these models.

JEDEC Compliance

The module meets JEDEC PC3L-12800 standards and is ROHS compliant, ensuring a warranty-safe upgrade for the listed notebooks. No additional software or accessories are bundled; the benefit comes from the memory’s tested compatibility and 2Rx8 organisation. Buyers needing ECC error correction or registered DIMMs should look elsewhere.

Simple Installation

The 204-pin SODIMM fits the user-accessible slot on the compatible EliteBooks, making it a straightforward DIY upgrade. The only common issue is inserting the module at the wrong angle or not seating it fully until the retention clips click. No BIOS update or configuration change is required for the supported systems.

Questions about this item

Will the 2Rx8 DDR3L SODIMM need a firmware update or pairing step later?

No firmware or pairing is required. The module follows JEDEC DDR3L 1600 CL11 1.35V specs and installs as a standard non-ECC SODIMM.

What limit appears first when the EliteBook 840 G2 runs the 1600 MHz module under sustained load?

The platform memory controller caps bandwidth at DDR3L 1600, so throughput ceiling is reached before thermal limits on this unbuffered SODIMM.

How much heat or fan noise does the 1.35 V 204-pin module add during all-day use?

Low-voltage DDR3L at 1.35 V draws minimal power and has no heat spreader, so it adds negligible heat and no audible fan increase.
