What this module is and who it fits

This 8 GB DDR3L SO-DIMM runs at 1600 MT/s with CL11 latency and 1.35 V operation. It is built for notebooks and Ultrabooks that accept 204-pin DDR3 memory and need a straightforward capacity increase.

How it fits into a laptop build

The stick plugs directly into a standard 204-pin SO-DIMM slot and requires no BIOS tuning or extra cooling. Its low voltage reduces power draw compared with 1.5 V DDR3, leaving more headroom for the battery and thermal budget.

Behaviour under sustained load

Unbuffered, non-ECC operation keeps latency predictable during long sessions. The 1.35 V rating helps the module stay within thermal limits when the system runs demanding applications for extended periods.

Questions about this item

Will the CL11 latency limit performance during long rendering sessions?

The module runs at CL11 timings at 1600 MT/s; latency is fixed by the SPD profile and does not change under sustained load.

Does the 1.35 V DDR3L module run cooler than standard DDR3 in an ultrabook chassis all day?

Operating at 1.35 V reduces power draw compared to 1.5 V DDR3, so the module generates less heat during continuous use.

My laptop only has 204-pin SO-DIMM slots — will this stick fit without an adapter?

Yes, the module uses the standard 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM form factor used by compatible notebooks.
