OWC 8GB DDR4 2133MHz CL15 1.2V 260pin SODIMM HP Pavilion 14-al memory upgrade

HP Pavilion 14-al Compatible SODIMM

This 8 GB DDR4 module is built specifically for HP Pavilion 14-al series laptops including the 14-al001no, 14-al001nr, 14-al001nt, 14-al002nf and 14-al002ni. It uses a 260-pin SO-DIMM form factor with non-ECC unbuffered architecture. The upgrade targets owners of these models who need more memory for everyday multitasking. It is not for users whose devices require a different pin count or voltage.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Rated at DDR4 2133 with a CL15 latency, the module maintains its JEDEC-standard timing during extended workloads rather than throttling back. The 2Rx8 rank organisation helps keep throughput steady when multiple applications run simultaneously. Performance scales linearly with the memory controller, so gains appear in sustained compile jobs or large spreadsheet recalculations. Buyers who need higher frequencies or lower latencies will not find them here.

Thermals Noise and Power

Operating at 1.2 V without a heat spreader, the stick runs cool enough for the thin chassis of the target laptops. Passive cooling relies on the system's existing airflow, adding no audible noise of its own. Power draw stays within the standard DDR4 envelope, leaving the original battery life largely unaffected. Builders who want RGB lighting or active cooling should look elsewhere.
