OWC 2GB DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 CL11 1Rx8 204-pin 1.5V Non-ECC SODIMM for HP Elite 8300 Ultra-Slim

HP Elite 8300 Ultra-Slim memory upgrade

This 2GB DDR3 SODIMM is built specifically for the HP Elite 8300 Ultra-Slim desktop. It runs at 1600MHz with CL11 latency and 1.5V operation. The module uses a 204-pin unbuffered non-ECC design in a 1Rx8 configuration. It targets owners of that chassis who need a straightforward capacity increase.

Replaces factory 1GB or 2GB DDR3 modules

The jump is worthwhile when the system ships with a single low-capacity stick and the board has a free slot, or when both slots hold smaller modules that limit multitasking. Adding this module raises the total memory ceiling for everyday workloads. It does not serve buyers who need higher speeds, lower voltage, ECC protection, or capacities beyond 2GB per slot.

Simple slot insertion with standard notebook tools

The SODIMM seats in the same 204-pin socket used by the original memory, so no adapters or firmware steps are required. Most installations finish in minutes after removing the access panel. The usual pitfalls are mixing speeds that force the bus down to the slowest module, forgetting to seat the stick fully until the clips click, and buying a second stick that differs in rank or voltage.
