OWC 8GB DDR3L 1600 PC3L-12800 CL11 2Rx8 204-pin 1.35V Non-ECC SODIMM for Lenovo Yoga 500-15ISK 700-14ISK

Lenovo Yoga 500 and 700 upgrade

This 8 GB DDR3L SODIMM is built for the Lenovo Yoga 500-15ISK and Yoga 700-14ISK. It replaces or adds to the factory memory in those specific ultrabooks. The module is unbuffered and non-ECC, matching the original specification for consumer notebooks. It targets owners of these models who need more capacity for multitasking.

JEDEC standard 204-pin layout

The stick uses the industry-standard 204-pin SO-DIMM edge connector, so it seats in the laptop slot without adapters. No heat spreader is fitted, keeping the profile low enough for thin chassis. Operating at 1.35 V, it draws less power than standard DDR3, which helps battery life. The single-rank 2Rx8 organisation is compatible with the memory controller in the listed Yoga systems.

DDR3L 1600 ceiling

The PC3L-12800 rating sets the maximum transfer rate at 1600 MT/s with CL11 latency. Systems that only support lower speeds will downclock the module automatically. DDR3L voltage prevents installation in older 1.5 V-only slots, so the upgrade is limited to platforms that explicitly accept 1.35 V memory. Buyers needing higher bandwidth or larger single-module capacities cannot meet those needs with this DDR3L generation.
